We posted this on one of our facebook pages and got more than 55,000 comments in less than a week.  WOW!!   We would love to hear from you, too. 

We know you all have gone through so much...more than anyone can even imagine unless you are there.  There are stories shared all over the internet... Looking back at the past several months, I'm sure it is hard for you to believe you made it this far.  And then to think... How much longer???????  Thank you for all you do!

Nurses and Nursing Students: Please describe your experience with COVID-19 in ONE word.

(I know it is hard to narrow it down to just one word.)

One word to describe how I think that the pandemic has affected the world:

Turmoil

One word to describe what I feel and think about the pandemic:

Pervasiveness 

Wish I could associate it with happier words, but a pandemic doesn’t really have a lot of upsides.

One good thing the pandemic has shown us though, is how the world’s scientists came together and developed safe and effective vaccines in record-breaking time. While some people see that as a scary thing, to me it’s a testament to what human beings can accomplish when they work together to help humanity.

Excellent!

There is really nothing to smile about when it comes to COVID, however, you were able to point out a strong point.  Thanks for reminding us of the collective effort it took to develop and provide the vaccines!
