* My brother Devin and my niece Isabel were pool reporters for an event featuring frontline health care workers receiving vaccinations. Click here to see their photos and videos. But make sure to watch this video of Glenda Mills, a PCU Nurse at Southern Illinois Healthcare…
I’ve been a nurse for over two years now at Carbondale. And I’ve worked the COVID unit exclusively for the last few months. And it has been a, a different situation.
I never expected to work in a pandemic. And I have honestly seen things that I really thought was only in the movies. I didn’t expect to see families wiped out. I didn’t expect to stand by people while they died, but that’s what we’ve been going through there.
This is a light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully we can crawl out of this. We’ve lost over 300,000 people so far to this. And it’s really difficult for us health care workers when we see people who don’t believe this, who think it’s a fake or making it up, but I’ve watched it every night.
Get the shot. Wear your mask. Show some compassion for the other people around us.
So for us, this is a relief. This is the light at the end of the tunnel. And I hope to God we can get out of this without losing any more people.
