Kristen had upwards of 10 nominations from grateful patients who expressed many sentiments:
***
I just have to say she is one of a kind nurse who is never too good to help. From getting medications to snacks.
***
I did not have her as my nurse when I first arrived. She was a calming influence. She shared stories and motivated me.
***
When I first met her, I was not getting anywhere with my care. I needed help to calm down. When I informed her, she got on the phone and waited on the phone until she got answers. Not once did she take no for an answer.
***
She made my stay here much more pleasant, and she talked to me like I mattered.
***
She made me feel like I mattered, and I will leave here better than I came in.
***
She treated me with respect and dignity. I have not experienced that.

She is god sent angel with such a powerful message for me.
