Work > Heroes

Jocelyn is nurse who came back to work after being home with her 3 young children for 5 years. “As nurses we’re used to sickness, death, taking care of the most vulnerable people. What made the surge so scary was how quickly the patients got so sick so fast. From sitting up and speaking to you to being unable to breathe on their own within hours. I remember holding a phone so a patient could talk to his wife (in Spanish) with his last coherent words. He’s surrounded by us English speaking nurses in full masks and gowns doing our best to comfort him, to save him. It must have been terrifying for him.”
