Neena Rodriguez is set to become the first nurse in her family after graduating from Â鶹ÊÓƵ later this month. Rodriguez was drawn to the profession due to the kindness and compassion demonstrated by nurses during several hospital stints as a child, including one which required an extended stay over Christmas. She will soon have a chance to provide that same type of care to patients at Mercy Medical Center, where she will work in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
