Kristina was absolutely wonderful. She explained everything well to me but it was her compassionate care and attitude that brought me through a very scary time in the hospital. I know she was a very busy nurse but she made me feel as if I was her only patient. After hearing a serious report from my cardiologist, Kristina stayed behind and held my hand allowing me to fully take in the report. She actually made me a fresh cup of coffee one morning that meant the world to me. She said that she didn't want me to drink old coffee. She made me feel that the so-called small importance of enjoying a good cup of coffee was important to her and that I was important to her. At the end of her shift, I asked her if I could take a shower prior to a procedure that was scheduled in the morning. Without hesitation, she set everything up before leaving. She even came back to say good night. She is the perfect example of excellence in nursing!
