Last year’s National Nurses Week theme “The Year of the Nurse” continues for 2021, with front-line nurse caregivers fighting to save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020. Then, as a winter storm hit in February this year, Texas nurses were confronted with the great challenge of power outages and water shortages but still rose to the challenge to provide top care for their patients.
Nurses Week, May 6-12, 2021, brings to light a year that demanded changes in safety protocols throughout the medical community, such as remote telehealth patient visits, visitor limitations and masking requirements. Along with patient care also came new duties for diagnostic testing and, once vaccines became available, health care professionals began vaccinating the public.
 When the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) announced teachers would be eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations on March 3, Kristin Lucas wanted to be among the first to join the ranks of inoculated educators in Fort Bend County. She received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine four days later on March 7.
This past Sunday and Monday, many more school workers in the region also were vaccinated as Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital held a drive-through clinic dedicated to teachers and other school employees at Smart Financial Centre.Â
Lucas has been teaching math at Dulles High School since 1997.Â
âOnce they had doses ready, it was a very smooth process,â Lucas said. âYou drove up to a numbered tent and a nurse came over to your car. I was particularly impressed with mine as I never felt the needle.âÂ
