Sonya Jackson+FollowThought Christmas in the Hospital Would Be the Worst. Then the Nurse Brought a Guitar.An emergency landed me in the ER for the holidays. The atmosphere was depressing; the old man next to me kept sighing. Suddenly, a young male nurse brought out a guitar and started softly playing "Silent Night." Doctors joined in, patients started humming. For a moment, the smell of sanitizer felt like pine. The pain was there, but the fear was gone. #HospitalLife #Nurses #HealthcareHeroes #Healing00Share
amandaanderson+FollowI’m working the ER shift tonight, but I don’t feel alone.No one wants to work Christmas Eve, but sickness doesn't take a holiday. Just now, a patient's family brought us a box of donuts and a handwritten card. I miss my kids, but holding a patient's hand and telling them "it's going to be okay" is its own kind of sacred celebration. #Nurses #ERLife #WorkingChristmas #HealthcareHeroes00Share
