My wife had surgery done at Rio Grande Regional and our nurse was Marilen. She was AWESOME. She was very understanding, very knowledgeable, very compassionate, very friendly, and explained everything very clearly. She made us feel very comfortable and put us both at ease. She possesses a good command of the Spanish language. She has an excellent base and understanding of the language and it definitely showed that day. Marilen is an outstanding and excellent nurse. She interacts very well with her patients. I truly believe that she should serve as an Exemplary Nurse for all the new hires. She truly embodies what a nurse should be. My wife and I are truly grateful and blessed that she assisted us that day.
