Aleta McCleskey

Aleta (R) is pictured here with Patty Ward (L)

Aleta has been working in our unit since graduating nursing school. Over the past 5 years, Aleta has grown into a wonderful nurse. Every day she is professional. She has respect and compassion for her patients.

For example, we had 3 hikers in the ED – one that was injured. After discharge the hikers had no transportation. They were walking the Appalachian Trail and had no vehicle. They had a reservation at a motel in Fontana approximately 30 miles away. Aleta called several people at 3:00 a.m. finally arranging transportation.

She is continuing her education at the present, working on her BSN. Aleta currently works 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and an occasional night shift. She is flexible with her schedule and is always willing to jump in and help with difficult patients.
