Nurses at UHealth and around the world continue to put patients first during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coping with added stress and uncertainty during long shifts, these health care professionals start each day not knowing what challenges they will face. Now, more than ever, we recognize their dedication and compassion during National Nurses Week, which is celebrated in the United States from May 6 to 12.
“I think the nurses across the world have been putting their hearts into the game for a long time,” said Elijah Virgin, a registered nurse and liaison for UHealth, before leaving his family to begin his 12-hour shift.
