Although I had the pleasure of knowing her for only a short time, her exceptional care and dedication to her patients left a lasting impression. Carissa is extremely attentive to her patients’ needs, consistently checking in on them and providing timely care.

Despite the challenges of a demanding shift, she always greets her patients with a warm smile, creating a comforting atmosphere. Her kindness, compassion, and professionalism make her an outstanding nurse. If I or any family member were to require care in Bemidji, it would be a blessing to have Carissa as our nurse.

She embodies the qualities that make a truly exceptional nurse.
