Pandemic Reflections with Amy

Amy is a critical care nurse and charge nurse in a SICU in New Orleans. As the initial pandemic response started in 2020, she was identified within her organization because of her leadership, commitment, and expertise to lead and manage the COVID ICU. Amy shares her story about her journey to nursing, her work in the ICU and her experience leading a team during the initial COVID response. 

Amy and I talked about many things and we got to share a few laughs. One of my favorite things she shared was her opportunity to participate in a Dear World story when Dear world & AACN collaborated to share stories from the front line of the pandemic.
