The definition of a good nurse is "caring, understanding, non-judgmental, and has a strong ability to empathize with patients of all walks of life." This is the exact definition to describe Alexandra DiPace as a nurse and as a person. I have been in many hospitals and floors and she by far exceeds many nurses. I have learned that she is one of the sweetest, nicest, selfless people I have ever met, not only in the hospital setting but everywhere. She always puts her patients first. I arrived later in the evening, she was so welcoming and caring. I am a four-foot dwarf with depression and anxiety. The second night I was there I was a mess crying and couldn't sleep. Alex took the time to sit at the end of my bed and talk to me. I started to relax and was able to sleep. It was said that "skills can be taught, character you either have or you don't." Alex does and that is why I believe Alex is a DAISY Nurse. She definitely made a difference in my life. She may never realize how much.
