Chris joined the ICU staff without hesitation and became a team player, offering his help wherever and whenever needed. Chris worked the night shift, weekends, and you would often hear him say, “I’ll work whenever you need me.” He went above and beyond by obtaining his CCRN certification and a micro certification as a COVID-19 specialist from AACN. Chris’s drive and enthusiasm allowed him to jump into unchartered waters and provide compassionate and competent care to his patients.
