ABOUT ME
Welcome to Kristel RN!
Hi, I’m Kristel—a passionate Registered Nurse with a heart for the operating room and a mission to empower my fellow OR nurses. Throughout my journey in surgical nursing, I’ve experienced firsthand the triumphs and challenges of working in this high-stakes, fast-paced environment. I’ve learned that while technical skills are crucial, having the right support, guidance, and camaraderie makes all the difference.
Kristel RN is my way of sharing what I’ve learned along the way. Whether it’s practical tips, heartfelt stories, or professional insights, my goal is to help you thrive both in and out of the operating room. Think of this space as your resource hub for growth, connection, and encouragement—because when one nurse succeeds, we all succeed.
So grab your scrub caps and let’s make OR life a little easier, one story and strategy at a time!
