Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello everyone. Sad news. A nurse that works on my floor was in a terrible car accident this morning on her way home from work. She was flown to the nearest hospital and placed on life support initially. She was diagnosed clinically brain dead and taken off life support at 3pm. She has two young sons and a husband. Please pray for her family. Please pray for her fellow friends and coworkers who are having to cope with this tragedy.

Thank you
