Work > Heroes

Dawn has a very busy schedule as a school nurse and as a nurse at Holy Family Hospital. She says, “I am friends with your daughter and used to work nights with her on the Telemetry Unit. I left that floor to work days on a Med/Surg floor. While just as busy it is also different.

We have all seen what Covid can do to people and their families. It is important for our patients to know we are human. To sit and listen when they are terrified. I would often wonder if today was the day I would bring Covid home to my family. It’s scary.

It pulls on your heart strings. In the end we are just doing what we vowed to do, care for people when they are sickest. This is the career path I chose and have no regrets. I love what I do!”
