Opis

Nurses shared their joys, sorrows, and grief with compassion during the most devastating pandemic of our generation. Here, in their own words, nurses share what it was like to take care of these very sick and often dying patients with COVID-19. Nurses were often the only clinicians going into the patients' rooms, going above and beyond their role to help contain the virus and efficiently manage supplies.No one really understood what it was like to be a nurse during a poorly understood pandemic. Nurses worried about contracting the virus and bringing the virus home. We hope that this book conveys the nurses' crucial role. We hope this book can help quell some of the misunderstandings of how deadly COVID-19 was and how grateful nurses were when the vaccine started rolling out to the community. These nurses were strong on their own but even stronger together.
