Christine managed my mother's bedside care with exemplary skills. She stepped up in a stressful situation, took control as a team leader, and saved my mother from a deadly situation. Her knowledge, skill, and compassion went above and beyond the call of nursing. Christine knows how to treat patients with the respect, compassion, and the care needed during times like these. I teach nursing clinicals and I will share her leadership example to my students in hope of creating nurses like her to keep the future of nursing as strong as it is today.
