“[In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic], the entire nursing community [came] together in a huge way. A lot of nurses have really stepped up and helped. We have people coming from different units observing us, making sure we're putting on our PPE, and we've made a lot of great friendships with each other. We've all been bonding and getting through this whole period as a community more so than ever before."
