It’s thong again! Last year #Caboolture and #Kilcoy Hospitals collected more than 600 pairs of thongs for regional and remote patients flying to Brisbane. Nurse Navigator Nikia has already collected 60 pairs to start this year’s collection. Can you help? #caringtogether #valuesinaction #nursenavigator
Amazing work, beautiful woman ⭐️
Such a great cause! When I worked in remote Queensland we would fly patients out and they couldn’t return home on the commercial plane as they had no shoes! Not the first things on our minds while they were laying on a RFDS stretcher!
Amazing Nikia!
You're a super star!
