Prayers for Baltimore

Published

I apologize since this is not necessarily nursing related, but my prayers go out to those who work, live, or have loved ones in Baltimore.

Especially to those healthcare workers who don't have the option to stay in their homes past curfew: may you all be safe until peace and order return to your city.

Thank you for your prayers. It is absolutely heartbreaking what is going on in our beloved city.

Thank you so much. I love this city and will be attending UMSON this fall...it's heartbreaking but I've worked closely with residents here for years and it's so much more complicated than just looting and disturbances. The problems here are deep. I appreciate all the medical personnel who have also put their lives out there, as usual.

I love Baltimore. My family and I lived in southern MD for 18 months and going to Baltimore for mini-vacations on weekends was one of our favorite things.

My thoughts are with all of the citizens there

quick question; What ARE the night shift nurses doing when they have to go out at night?

Not to mention their kids while schools are closed.

As a general rule, ours do not go out at night. They are accompanied by security if they need to go to their cars.

On Monday night, when shuttles cancelled, personnel sheltered in place and the campus was on lockdown. A couple buildings 5-6 blocks away were burned, one to the ground, another to a shell.

That is so horrible. I am located on the eastern shore, but it was a hysterical call from my best friend's younger sister that prompted the original post. She lives in a neighborhood that was being looted, and she could see the city burning from her deck.

I'm glad things have calmed down, but I know the issue is not by any means resolved. I'm praying things move in a positive direction.
