Recognition Year: 
2018

Crystal Watson is hailed as a team player. She meets all the criteria of an extraordinary nurse: compassion; going above and beyond; persistence; attention to detail; professionalism; and making a difference in her department and in the lives of patients she cares for. She admits it’s not always easy. “Nursing is a very, very hard profession, I’m not going to lie,” she says. “It can get to you, emotionally, mentally, even physically.” But her team at Atrium Medical Center makes it all worthwhile. “I love the team I work with!” says Crystal. “We have such a good relationship between our nurses and our techs, and our doctors that we work with. We have so much fun at work; we’re always happy, we’re always laughing.” She says the positive rapport among all the team members “helps them keep the patients’ mind off what they’re going through.” “She is truly a patient advocate and will go out of her way to help our patients,” notes a colleague. “She shows compassion and professionalism toward every patient every time. She is a true professional.”
