All of us have been admiring champions every now and then, but how many of us have truly thanked the caregivers across the timeline? If you have ever owed gratitude to anyone in this world, its high time to convey the same in reality.
Well, today deserves everyone’s dedication to a certain group of attendants as its none other than National Nurses Day! They are the ones to stake their lives every hour as the pandemic continues to claim millions of lives from the stretching outbreak. The other names behind such service have been courage, altruism and valour to serve the need of the hour as always and forever. To all the nurses out there, we thank you till the last breath.
Indeed, a few posts shared by the beautiful souls will bring tears to your eyes. One of them has been ER nurse Ana Wilkinson who recently advanced all the way from San Diego, California to New York City just to extend help towards the state commiseratively.
New York COVID-ICU nurse Ona Onyia took to her Instagram handle saying, “I worked 21 nights straight (12-hour shifts) with one day off. This assignment pushed me completely out of my comfort zone and I had to remind myself that sometimes seeking discomfort and taking risks will cause you to grow”.
Andrea Dalzell, a New York nurse revealed about her empathetic feeling on social media who wrote, “Connecting with them has been a struggle, especially since we have to remind ourselves to limit exposure by ‘clustering’ their care. They may not see me clearly, but they definitely hear me! I need to know their story!
During this time, so many of my patients have told me that they were not only amazed by me, but wanted better for themselves and since they’ve seen my ability, they know they can do it”.
And the last expression found in Sarah Flanagan’s expression on Instagram being a COVID nurse, who confessed about her spell in providing care to the patients. It reads, “Holding the phone up for a family to be able to FaceTime with their loved one who can’t respond back, who is resting as this virus takes them from the world. It has been difficult, but it feels like some of the most important work that I have ever done as a nurse”.
