Krysti goes above and beyond for her team. Not a day goes by when she does not help the staff with daily care for the patients on the unit. She frequently bathes patients, transports patients, and changes patients. Any staff member on our floor would tell you that she is on the floor more than they are in their office. She ALWAYS puts the patient first in their decision-making as a leader. She strives to do whatever is best for the patient. She frequently stays beyond their shift and comes in during off shifts to assist in staffing. There is no leader that I would rather work under. They motivate me to strive to be more patient-oriented and to be more involved in patient care. I'm honored to work with Krysti.
