As the state's COVID-19 numbers dramatically increase, nurses are once again finding themselves on the frontlines.
In the last two weeks, Oklahoma has seen hospitalizations for COVID-19 more than double.
Nurses in the Oklahoma City area and those in hard hit areas of the country at Mercy hospitals told News 9 they haven't even had enough time to process what happened in 2020.
"I didn't think it would be so soon," said nurse Lauren Jerichow.
She along with Emily Alonso both work in the COVID unit at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City.
"I don't know if there is anyway to prepare for this. Essentially it's a war," said Jerichow. "We are fighting a battle that seems like it can't be won."
