In honor of National Nurses Week, we ask 12 nurses about what gives them hope.
I did that for about a year and then I joined the team at Elmhurst, where I’ve been for about 15 years now. I’m the head nurse at the Women’s Pavilion, our outpatient clinic offering OB-GYN and prenatal services. But since the pandemic hit I’ve also been working in the COVID-19 testing tent.
There’s comfort in being with someone that you are comfortable with. Many outpatient services have shut down due to the pandemic, and I’ve had to reassign a lot of my staff to other areas of the hospital. So just being together helps them. We’re creating a new normal in the way we do everything. There are so many innovative ways to provide healthcare that will reduce crowds and maintain social distancing rules so that everyone can be protected, both the patients and the healthcare workers.Pembroke Pines, Florida
