I hope all nurses and other health workers are efficient and dedicated like Iriza.
In my 36 years of existence having been a watcher for almost all of my life, I’ve already been to a lot of hospitals, seen a bunch of doctors, caregivers, and nurses; but this is the only time I’ve met someone who is one of a kind. I hope all nurses and other health workers are efficient and dedicated like Iriza.

As I am a caregiver student, I am inspired. In those three days of staying in the ICU, she taught me how to take care of the patient effectively and efficiently. Ms. Toriado’s attentiveness to patients’ needs extends beyond nursing as a skill. Her heart for her patients especially in caring for our grandmother is highly exceptional. Our grandmother received the best care because of her heartfelt passion as an ICU Nurse. An example of her dedication and diligence is her anticipation of our grandmother’s needs. She was very gentle but steadfast. Just before I call her for help, she’s already at the bedside with the items needed. No patient was waiting to be assisted because she sees to it that all of her patient’s needs are immediately met just before they know they needed it.

With her being a nurse, her patients are well taken care of. With these, it shows her character and her heart as an exceptional nurse. No words can exactly describe how grateful we are for her. We believed that her skill contributed to the fast recovery of our grandmother.
