I was asked recently how the shutdown in response to Covid-19, impacted me. Me as a nurse, or as a mother of an immunocompromised adult daughter with DS? The answer is different depending on which hat I’m wearing. Covid-19 didn’t impact all nurses the same way. Those serving on the frontline in the hardest hit areas of the United States, and in Covid ICUs or Covid general wards, I’m sure the impact was devastating. For school nurses? Some of us may have wondered if we would have to find temporary jobs that put us at more risk. Others knew they still had a job to do. I work in a preschool, that like all schools in our area, closed our doors, and put classes and therapies on-line.
