Was not prepared to enter into an entire unit and multiple units with droves of relatively healthy patients who were now fighting for their life with covid pneumonia. When things really started getting tough in my unit, it was a sunday, and i was working, and we were putting down breathing tube after breathing tube in these patients. We got up to 14 or 15 ventilators in our 18bed icu, and it was just one after the other. And we were all scared. Nobody knows how to navigate this, and were just taking it shift by shift and day by day, trying not to get overwhelmed. One of the things thats really hard for us is as icu nurses, were used to having constant access to our patients. We have very sick patients, and were used to going in there and assessing them and reassessing them. But now we have to really cluster our care to try to cut down Exposure Time in the room. The less time in the room, the less time we have to be exposed to the disease, the less chance we have of bringing it home to

Behind him, one of his twins, jenna bush hager, was standing with her husband, henry, who was patting her back. Its very hard on the family. Certainly is, john. And its not just hard on the family, but so many people who have gathered here this washington now to pay their respects who worked so closely with the 41st president in so many different capacities.
