If anyone that I know of is an unsung hero, it is Aileen Rodriguez. I've worked with Aileen since the day I started here and she never refused to offer a helping hand. She is caring, nurturing and a team player. I don't think a day has gone by where just by talking with her, I don't learn something new. Her passion and nursing and pediatrics shows every day in her work. When she was a bedside nurse, I remember seeing her coming out of the tub room after bathing a patient, looking like she had been in the bath too! Her scrub top was wet, her pants were rolled up to her knees, and her socks drenched. When I asked her if she got into a fight with the water hose, she laughed and just said, "my patient hadn't had a good bath in a few days and hadn't slept well, so I helped wash her hair and comb it out to see if she could get some sleep." She didn't care that she was going to be wet the rest of the day, even though she still had half her shift left to the day. She is always looking out for others and is probably one of the most selfless people I have ever met. She deserves so much praise. In her new role she still continues to assist others. She is just wonderful!
