Alexandra Levy, Registered Nurse, graduated from Adelphi University in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in Science of Nursing. Alex has wanted to be a nurse ever since she was 9 years old, when she went to visit her grandfather in the intensive care unit after surgery. She vividly remembers watching the nurses care for him with grace, intelligence, warmth, and ease. Alex remembers thinking, “Wow, these nurses are incredible and I want to be just like them.” One of her greatest achievements as a nurse was when she was working as a Visiting Nurse and was assigned a biweekly visit to a patient who was bed-bound and virtually nonverbal due to a stroke. The patient had terrible bedsores that needed care. At each visit, Alex was assessing the patient’s status and providing wound care. Over several months, she witnessed these awful wounds heal, and saw sores go from open to close. As a byproduct of these wounds healing, the patient’s pain lessened and her comfort level increased, which led to the patient starting to speak again and engage with her family once more. Seeing the happiness of this family as their loved one healed is a memory Alex will treasure forever. Alex is an avid exerciser; she tries to go for an early morning run and lift weights 6 days a week. As a former psychiatric nurse, she strongly believes that maintaining your mental health is crucial for one’s overall wellbeing. Alex says, “For me, I’ve found that exercise with the right music, of course, is key!” Alex is known for her commitment to her patients health and wellbeing, and is dedicated to improving the lives and outcomes of those she and her team care for.
