Krista performed exceptional service for the patient, A. He is a 74-year-old male in CHF who developed hypercapnia and became somnolent. Her close observation and astute clinical skills allowed her to identify the condition early, notified me immediately, and insisted immediately on the issue. She prevented further deterioration preventing a certain respiratory arrest and intubation. She is a highly skilled caring nurse who displayed the best qualities of her profession, and she deserves recognition!

Krista is so real. She has a great personality. You can tell she really loves her job. She is no phony. She made my stay very enjoyable if that’s even possible. I was in more pain than I ever felt as they just took out my epidural. She came into the room and took such good care of me with her kindness, personality, and sweetheart of a great nurse. I swear every time she opened that door my pain went from a 10 to a 7 without pain medication. She is by far the best caring sweetheart of a nurse I ever met. To make it better, Thursday, as I was still not eating solid foods, I was getting dressed and walking out on a big bill and she talked me out of it and calmed me down like a pro. She made my painful stay very comfortable. I really enjoyed her company. She is caring, funny, and downright awesome!
