TAMPA, Fla. â Last year nurses from around the country were deployed to hospitals in New York and New Jersey to help care for patients with COVID-19.
Those nurses may have returned home, but for many of them, the fight against COVID continues every day.
Before Alexandra Houston was wearing scrubs for the Moffit Cancer Center, she was wearing fatigues for the United States Military, serving in Iraq as an army medic.
