Retired Registered School Nurse ... hero

Tragic story of course, but I didn't know she was a school nurse. I fly often and wonder what I would do in case of emergency on an airplane since I don't have certain skills other nurses have.

I think our skill might be of more use because we are nurses that don't have access to most hospital equipment and have to think on our feet - which is basically what one can do on an airplane.

I was on a plane once when they asked if there were any medical professionals on board. I was the only one and checked in with a passenger. A minor issue, thankfully! But they still needed my license number after the encounter, something I didn't even think about.

This woman and the other man that helped are heroes in my book, even with the tragic results. And hats off to the crew. I can't even imagine...
