I am a nurse that works in acute care.

My neighbour is an (amazing) retired nurse who served her time and helped make nursing what it is today; a wonderful profession.

Her son has been staying with her for the past several weeks, ensuring his wonderful mother stays safe during these uncertain times.

They have both been so wonderful and grateful for my part during Covid 19 working in acute care (there has never been a time that I haven't been thanked by them), but I wanted to take a moment to thank all the nurses before us who paved the way and made nursing what it is today. Also, for all their families who are making sure that our hero's that wore the nursing caps prior to us are being taken care of the way they would have taken care of their patients.

So, to all the nurses who paved the way for us, and their families, I would like to thank you for all you have done and all you are doing. We are working the frontlines because of you and your families.

A special thank you to my wonderful neighbour Mrs. P and her son Mr. P (jr) for all their support and kind words!...there have been days that those kind words have meant more to me than you will ever know! Angels come in all shapes and forms, and I hope they know that they are my angels that have helped me during my most challenging of days.

Sincerely,

A grateful nurse
