An Open Letter to Nurses from
#susanbthanksnurses
Dear Nurses:
We are an ad hoc group of leaders in nursing education, research, and practice who are thinking of you.
We appreciate the stresses you are experiencing as you care for persons who are victims of Covid-19. We praise your life-sustaining care and support.
You are dedicated nurses who are tireless in preventing further deleterious effects during patients’ struggles to survive. We know so many are recovering, thanks to your care. We also understand that it is heartbreaking when someone does not survive, despite your excellent care.
We admire the nursing care you are giving to patients, and we appreciate that you are providing a caring presence for those who cannot have family members or loved ones at their bedside during this pandemic.
We are thinking of you. We appreciate you. We thank you.
Sincerely, the Nursing Friends of the Anthony Museum
