Tristin Kate Smith

Tristin's story was very impactful and while I did not know her I certainly felt her words. Beautiful Tristan inspired me to change my nursing research toward institutional betrayal so it might spark change or help nurses going forward. I will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers as they continue to grieve for their loss.

Her words hit deep, I can relate. Rest easy, Tristin and thank you for your service.

This story is heartbreaking. As a retired nurse, I can totally relate to Tristin's pain. I entered the nursing profession later in life, only to have the career of my dreams turn into the career of my nightmares. My heart goes out to the Smith family and friends who have suffered this tragic loss. Tristin, I never met you, but you sound like a beautiful person with a caring, loving heart. Hope the letter will cause some much-needed changes to be made to our healthcare system.

Sleep Peacefully Tristan...You mattered

I worked with Smith in the ED. She was a conscientious nurse. She went above & beyond for her patients and was a dependable teammate. She was always ready to help you with a medic or with an IV. There were times I would be swamped, and she would make time in her assignment to help with whatever she could. She helped me get through some really tough shifts. Rest In Peace.

I do not know Tristin, but I am also a registered nurse who feels the constraints of this healthcare system. Condolences and prayers for your loved ones. You did God's work here on earth with your healing hands. Rest in peace amongst the angels.

I´m very sorry for your loss. I did not know Tristin but I am a RN. I do pray that God will assist you through this challenging time. I am a nurse and I understand her pain. Be at peace, Tristin. Rest easy among the angels.

Im so sorry for your loss. I did not know Tristin but I´m also a healthcare worker and in nursing school and her letter and pain is something I´m very familiar with being in healthcare. Rest in peace and prayers

I Do Not Personally Know Tristin But, I Too Am A Nurse.......I Understand. Rest With The Angels Sweet Girl
