Kristel has been one of the hardest-working students in our cohort since 1st semester. She took on leadership roles in NSNA and ensured our cohort was taken care of. She was an amazing caregiver and provided such compassionate care to all of her patients. She was a great friend to many of us in the class and supported others with emotional care. We cannot think of anyone else who deserves this recognition more for being such a loving and compassionate person and nursing student. She is going to be a great nurse!
