Not only is Alexis a diligent, professional and competent RN, he is equally as caring and compassionate - equally important to healing. Alexis showed genuine care for me as a whole person. He would take a minute here and there to speak personally which helped me feel like a whole person instead of a lab experiment.
Alexis greeted and departed each shift with hugs! No nurse ever hugged me besides Alexis, and with no family, those hugs did more good than any medicine. I had a reaction to medication and he stood with me and held my hand until it was over, rubbing my back and patting my shoulder til I felt better. He genuinely cares and shows it. He was always respectful and his smile was filled with compassion. He explained things and encouraged treatments. Alexis will have a great career as an RN.
