A

My name is lisa burgoon, I'm a registered nurse. I have been a nurse for 26 years. I have been with.

A

Carol since 02., I became a nurse after almost completing a degree in accounting and getting a.

A

Little jan term job that at one of carol's, first urgent cares and I helped with a gentleman who.

A

Came in who had an emergency at the congoleum plant, a high-pressure water treatment plant.

A

And they needed some extra hands to clean up his wounds and everything- and I said I'll help and I.

A

Was like this is kind of interesting and then the next person who came in who needed, stitches or.

A

Some I'm like can I come and help do you need any help and it just kind of I liked the patient care.

A

And the ability to help people and then I was like I think I want to be a nurse so here I am.

A

I can remember talking about it. It was like all of the buzz through the hospital.

A

And I think a lot of us were kind of thinking. It's not going to come. It's not going to be a.

A

Big problem, or if it comes it's not going to last long, it will run its course and.

A

Move on and we'll be, okay, and I remember getting a phone call on, I believe it was the sunday.

A

Before the two-week lockdown that we had from my boss, that said, we needed all hands on deck.

A

And I remember going oh, my so and then saying goodbye to my family.

A

I'm not sure that my job or my role has really changed.

A

My job in the intermediate care unit as the leader is to help the nurses who care for the.

A

Patients and the patient care techs and the unit secretaries and everyone who is needed.

A

In that patient's care do their job to the best of their ability, I'm a mover of obstacles. You know.

A

Just to make sure that they have everything that they need to do to treat that person as if they.

A

Were their own mother, father, husband, brother sister, the most difficult part of my job is.

A

Seeing everyone work so hard and put blood, sweat and tears into patient care and doing.

A

And not having a good outcome, we're used to having that at times, but not to.

A

The extent that we have had since covet, if I could say anything to the community and let them know.

A

I would just ask that we'd be kind to each other, because we all have a different path.

A

We've all walked in different shoes, we've all walked in different directions and what I see.

A

Might not be how you see something, but the one thing that I can do for everyone is be kind.
