During the difficult time my family has been going through, Kristina has shown compassion and care beyond words.

Kristina has been a nurse since 2016 and started as a graduate nurse at AdventHealth Celebration in the ICU. She took a break from Advent for a few years to travel all over the US working in level 1 trauma units, transplant units, CVICU, and some of the worst COVID units you could imagine before deciding to come to AdventHealth Heart of Florida ICU. She immediately made a positive impact on the team by demonstrating knowledge, teamwork, and compassion for her patients.

Kristina is an exceptional nurse who makes it obvious that patient care and comfort care are top priorities. She is very thorough and goes above and beyond to be sure her patient is comfortable. If she did not have the answer for me, she did whatever was necessary to find the answer. She has a wonderful bedside manner and I felt complete confidence in her care. Kristina is a credit to the nursing profession. She also made sure my wife was comfortable and answered all her questions.

This is just an overview of a nurse who not only jumps in with both feet in delivering paramount care but delivers great care to patients and families. I have seen her on many occasions make the patients and families more at ease. No matter what is asked of Kristina, she does with her heart and skill. We are blessed to have nurses like her in the ICU.

***

Kristina's empathy and compassion kept my family from falling apart when we lost the most important person to so many people (my mom). Without her kindness and patience, this would have been even more catastrophic to me and my family. Words cannot express how thankful I am.

Nurse Kristina is a nurse full of compassion, kindness, and a beautiful smile. She was wonderful, kind, and caring to my sister and the family.

Kristina has not only been a caring nurse for my mother, but she has also been a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen and a heart to care. During the difficult time my family has been going through, she has shown compassion and care beyond words. I couldn’t have asked for a better nurse to care for my mother. I thank her a billion times forever and ever.

***

Kristina was an amazing nurse. She took care of my mom. She also took care of me, my brothers, my sister, and my dad while we were going through this tough time.

I arrived from Georgia. The second I was introduced to Kristina as my sister-in-law's nurse, she had a good spirit, and I could see her dedication and how loving and caring she was. She was also very concerned about the entire family, especially my brother. She was checking on him every time she checked on my sister-in-law. She is an amazing nurse, very caring and dedicated to her job. She rocks.

***

I have had to come to the hospital many times to get my condition treated. Kristina has gone above and beyond expectations and shown how much she loves her patients. She is one of a kind.

Kristina has been amazing since we stepped foot in the ICU. She has gone above and beyond to make sure my mother-in-law is comfortable and taken care of. Every question we had she made sure to get answers to even if she didn’t know it. You can really tell she cares about her patients and how much she loves her job.
