professional compassionate efficient empathetic neutral attentive patient

The Nurse at George Washington University Hospital cares for Toby Ziegler's newborn twins, Huck and Molly, right after their birth to Andy Wyatt. She tends them at the nurse's station, offers to bring them to Toby for private time, carries them into a quiet room while whispering soothingly, sets them on the bed, promises to return for feeding, watches TV footage of the Bartlet family and crisis, offers condolences on Zoey's kidnapping, and asks Toby to relay the hospital staff's prayers to President Bartlet and his family. Her steady support anchors Toby amid personal joy and national emergency.
