Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Registered Nurses Are Now *Required* Nurses (April 2013)

During the current pandemic, RN doesn’t just stand for “Registered Nurse” – it stand for *Required* Nurse and our frontline healthcare workers are going above and beyond in the battle against COVID-19 in hospitals, testing sites and other locations around the world.

I’m so proud to be married to a nurse who fills this vital role for society.  It’s amazing to see the passion, the dedication and the care she brings to her job every day.

So while I appreciate the videos of people standing on their doorsteps at shift change making noises of support and shots of other first responders giving “emergency light” salutes, when this is all over, it’d be great to never again hear someone talking about overpaid nurses and lazy union workers.  Instead, I hope this will make us move our society towards truly supporting those who are our most essential workers.

Thanks for all you do, Shea – love you very much!
