Krista is known for having a great attitude. She always works with a smile and approaches her shift with a "can do" outlook, even in those worst case scenarios. She never complains about helping or staying late when someone is busy or running late.

She's also a great communicator. She speaks with the doctors regarding their plan of care, briefs nurses on the specific plan, and takes the time to stop and talk with the patient and family about their concerns and questions. She's knowledgeable and willing to teach her coworkers.

Finally, one statement from her nominator is the highest praise: "Her performance is always in sync with the hospital's mission."
