About Kristina

I first want to acknowledge YOU! I thank you and commend you for seeking the best care for your loved one. It seems, these days our elders are relocated, and forgotten. It is not always possible to care in the home--however you are giving it a shot. So you don't have to pick me, but pick someone...as long as you safely can provide care and love IN your home. I have always been interested in medicine. In kindergarten, my show and tell was about platelets. I have more than 35 hours in my nursing education, and I am in the top percent of my honors classes. I teach CPR and BLS, and I am certified by the National Institute of Health, (NIH) to administer the Stroke Scale test--trained to recognize the signs early--activate the emergency response system, (requesting TPA be considered early ((doctors/EMT director's decision)) based on existing heart condition and vitals), and transfer of care. My family members have survived major health events--I am always looked to as the one to handle those situations. (hospitals are not for everyone!) I have been involved in the home recovery of: five open heart surgeries, major and minor thrombolytic events, (stroke), traumatic brain injury. The management of; TBI, AFib, Sleep apnea, post op/wound care (aseptic techniques).. And I have 5 children ages 21-3, so you can imagine the injuries and ailments covered there. I don't think one can convey or gain such an important trust in a profile paragraph--So I close with--Thank you. Thank you for taking responsibility of your loved ones. You are a rockstar! Don't forget to take breaks!

I love be a help to others especially our seniors who have sacrifice and paved the way for this generation. I believe it is our duty to give back to those who spent their lifetime helping others. I have so much respect for our seniors and believe they deserve to live the rest of their days feeling loved and appreciated. I have dedicated my life and time in making sure I pay my respects to those who can no longer help themselves due to old age or otherwise.
