Alyssa received two nominations, one from a coworker in the cath lab and the other one from the wife of a patient. The coworker nomination details how Alyssa is a nurse who enthusiastically accepts and manages the care of cath patients. She is always eager to learn and never makes you wait to give report or bring the patient back to the unit. Multiple times she has helped bring patients down to the lab and is always smiling. She is very much appreciated by the cath team as a real team player.
The nomination from a patient's wife describes how she was truly her husband's angel. Alyssa came to work when her husband was dying and took complete control in order to make him more comfortable in his last hours. She cleaned him up and was diligent with his care allowing him to breathe a little easier while the vent was being removed.
Alyssa is truly a role model for not only superior nursing care but compassionate care that always goes above and beyond.
