Krystyl worked diligently alongside Dr. Mateo, fellow nurses, respiratory therapists, and the entire care team to provide a patient with truly exceptional care. She demonstrated thoughtful, sound decision-making while remaining swift and decisive in her actions.

Krystyl listened attentively to this patient's needs while also showing genuine care and consideration for his family and visitors. She ensured comfort by ordering meals and providing warm blankets, and she proactively developed solutions for the specific challenges he was experiencing. Recognizing a critical opportunity, she coordinated for the imaging technician to see him before the technician left to cover another hospital, preventing a missed opportunity in his care.

Krystyl even took the time to listen intently to a rapid explanation of the ventilator’s function to better understand and support his respiratory needs. Her dedication, attentiveness, and compassionate advocacy truly made a difference
