She created flyers and delivered them via the pneumatic tube system, seeking Batman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought, there\u2019s got to be someone who\u2019s been Batman for Halloween,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m only 5-foot-3, there\u2019s no way that I could be Batman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of those fliers landed on the medical unit, where Sarah Patrick was a nurse educator and Nick French is a CNA. Patrick called some party stores and found Life of the Party in Fort Collins, which rented a realistic Batman costume for free. French, \u201cwho was the perfect person to act as Batman,\u201d agreed to wear it, said Patrick, now a staff nurse on the ortho-neuro-spine unit.<\/p>\n<p>Ruelas purchased Batman gear: sunglasses that looked like a Batman mask, balloons, a Batman poster, a new pillow case and black gauntlets with the signature fins.<\/p>\n<p>By his birthday, the patient had recovered enough to leave the ICU but remained at the hospital. A family member took him in a wheelchair outside while the staff prepared his room for the surprise; when they returned, what she saw caused her to start crying. They sang to the patient and gave him the gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always try to pay attention to the little details,\u201d said Ruelas, who came in on her day off for the birthday surprise. \u201cMy mom was hospitalized, and I lost her, so I know what it\u2019s like to be on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruelas recently earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in biochemical sciences and aspires to be physician assistant. Meanwhile, she said, her work gives her an incredible opportunity to support patients in their recovery.<\/p>\n<p>And she didn\u2019t need the Bat Signal to find heroes \u2013 just a pneumatic tube.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took a lot of people, but I knew we were going to be able to do it,\u201d Ruelas said. \u201cBecause I work in a place where we all work together to make things better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNA plans birthday surprise for patient Through months in the ICU, a patient with special needs found comfort in Batman: His blanket, pillow, T-shirt, DVDs \u2013 everything featured the Caped Crusader. \u201cIt was kind of a way to distract him from his treatments,\u201d said Romy Ruelas, certified nursing assistant at the surgical ICU at UCHealth [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2242,"featured_media":39157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"on","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"Relevanssi image attachment filter Relevanssi index exclude","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4826],"class_list":["post-39155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-you-make-extraordinary-possible"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
