Alma Aviles Cruz

Registered Nurse
William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital-Day Surgery

First UTSW job: I started as a Staff Nurse on the Cardiothoracic Unit in 1988.

Best part of my job: It is taking excellent care of my patients – individualizing the care they need brings out the best of me.

How co-workers describe me: I think they would say that I’m the quiet type.

Surprising fact: I like to spend my time off traveling to different places and relaxing with my family.

Best memory: The best times are when I get appreciated by my patients, co-workers, and friends.
