Hello, my name is Krista and i have been in the field of nursing for 16 years. I started as a CNA when i was 20, went to school and became a Certified Medical Assistant at 25, and passed the California State Board of Nursing NCLEX exam in December, 2013. I have worked across the board in all specialities including long term geriatrics, Alzheimer's care, specialized pediatrics, wound care, ventilator and tracheostomy, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, emergency medicine, etc. Nursing is in my blood, it's not just a job for me. I have extensive experience and impeccable references. Unfortunately, 2 weeks after receiving my LVN license I was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 36. I went through treatment and am proud to say I am currently cancer free. Due to this set back and the extensive healing time involved, I need to have a low stress job that allows for some flexibility. I can guarantee I am still very competent and your loved ones will be in good hands. Thank you for your consideration, Krista Koontz, LVN
