Janil Toribio is a board-certified pediatric nurse (CPN) and a member of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.

She continued her education with a master of science in Primary Care Pediatrics Nursing Practitioner (PNP-C).

Her passion for pediatrics began with the care she received from her own pediatrician. In her own words, “My pediatrician had such a special way with children that making our annual or sick visits was something I looked forward to. I would say, that is where the spark started!”, Janil Toribio, APRN.

Janil began working for the Advent Health for Children Hospital for in a 44-bed pediatric medical surgical unit, after completing nursing school. She gained vast experience by cross training to the pediatrics progressive care unit (PCU) but quickly realized her that general pediatrics was my niche.

My husband and I have set a goal to travel to one new country a year. We love learning about different cultures, so what better way to do it. In addition, after marriage my husband introduced me to snowboarding.

Snowboarding is a sport that I have learned to love, there is nothing better than being at the top of the mountain and looking down at all the natural beauty. We make a yearly snowboarding trip with a group of friends. Also, Sundays we keep sacred for our family. Every Sunday, we go to church with our families and have lunch at one of our parent’s home.
