Alesandra Childs, BSN, RN

I am an 85-and-a-half-year-old male and have an enlarged prostate. I checked in at the hospital around 2 pm. Shortly after checking in, nurse Alex was trying to drain clots and reduce pains around my bladder, but she was unsuccessful at first; then, she changed to manually and irrigated my bladder continuously. I felt a lot better and relaxed after a long period of time. She worked on me and also explained to us what she was doing. I completely trusted her and felt comfortable with her. After a few hours, my urine became free of clots, and I was able to be discharged with her instructions and diagram of how to continue the bladder irrigation at home. I am so grateful for the care they provided during my hospital stay. Therefore, I am very honored to nominate the best care takers who provided me with the utmost care and love.
