August 2024 Honoree
Alyazya Al Malood, RN
I have been hospitalized for a week, and I happened to encounter nurse Alyazia during my first 4 days. We are all unique, but Alyazia seems to grasp the concept of the patient's best interest. She initially introduced herself and smiled the widest grin, which was a relief from where I was coming from because I was in so much pain and discomfort. She made me feel comfortable and developed rapport by having simple conversations. Whenever I needed anything, she made sure she comes back eventually; most of all she understood and advocated for me when my IV cannula has been 4 days, they had difficulty reinserting my IV and she asked me if it is ok to try again. When my IV was reinserted, I thanked her for enforcing it to be changed on my behalf even if it would be difficult, she said "so that you could move freely and take a bath properly". It might be shallow, but it meant a lot because she did it in my best interest. Alyazia, at her junior level, has exemplified such conscientiousness, and I know she's the same with all the patients under her care. Keep it up, Alyazia
Thank you, Alyazya, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
