I felt that Kristan truly listened to me and eased my anxiety with her kindness and thoughtful care.
Working in healthcare, the last thing you want is to end up in the Emergency Room. Well, one day it happened. I was at work and battling a headache that I had for 2 weeks. That morning while getting ready I noticed some visual changes that I had never before, they had gone away by the time I was done getting ready, so I went to work. While working the headache continued to get worse, so I went to the clinic to get checked. They noticed some things that concerned them and sent me to the ED. My nurse was so caring. I never had to ask for anything. She was very thorough, and I felt that she truly listened to me and eased my anxiety with her kindness and thoughtful care. Luckily, my tests were negative for anything serious. Since then, every time I see her, she stops and asks me how I am doing, which just proves what a wonderful, caring person she is. She is an exceptional nurse, and I am thankful she was mine that day. Reed City is very lucky to have her on their team.
