National Nurses Week
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope all mothers and mother-like figures enjoyed the weekend.
We are in the middle of National Nurses Week. Think about the last two years — it has been hard for everyone, but in many ways, nurses have truly been our front-line heroes — from the darkest times of spring 2020 through the COVID roller coaster that has followed. They are our patients’ primary caregivers, their best advocates, and many times have been the last people who our dying patients would see as they succumbed to COVID — again and again and again, as we close in on 1 million COVID related deaths in this country alone.
