The healthcare world needs more Toshia that is for sure!
My 5-month-old son was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia from RSV, and Toshia was our night nurse. I have never had such amazing service from a nurse, and I’m so thankful for her. She knew I was alone and sat with my son so I could shower and use the restroom, something she did not have to do. His sats didn’t go without being watched. His O2 dropped, and she was right there helping me get the O2 on him. She monitored his IV fluid closely to make sure his IV stayed good so that he did not have to be poked again.

She didn’t judge me when I cried from worry about my son having to go on oxygen. I could ask her anything, and if she didn’t know how to answer she made sure to find out the answer for me. She treated me and my son as though we were family, and that meant so much. Everything she did with my son, she did with so much care, and I cannot thank her enough! The healthcare world needs more Toshia that is for sure!
