I am a cardiac/pulmonary patient under her care. I’ve been struck by the exemplary care she consistently gives to her patients while at the same time doing little extra things to set up for the nurses that come on the next shift.  Good team playing is critical in my opinion, and the sign of a nurse whose great compassion extends to her patient and fellow workers.   

I have a complicated case (being heart and lung problems) with a lot of components to take care of. Aleena surpassed my expectations in taking care of each of those needs compassionately and with great skill.  

Her calm demeanor puts one at ease and I can feel that she truly cares. She is the ultimate healer physically, energetically, and spiritually while also maintaining high professionalism.  

She is working as my nurse, nursing assistant, and charge nurse. She seemed to accept this challenge with grace, when mentioned how can one person do three people’s jobs simultaneously? Great employees are very much the foundation of any institution. Once they are gone, so goes your foundation. Please appreciate and reward this kind sweet nurse! She is a gem!  

I was at Maryview two years ago and swore that I would never come back, but this is where the ambulance took me this time. I can’t tell you how relieved to have had this wonderful nurse!
