BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - This year, May is being recognized as National Nurses Month. During this time, The Alabama Nurses Association wants to honor nurses who contracted Covid-19 while on the job and ultimately passed away.
Health care workers are on the frontline every day, risking their safety and even their life to take care of others.
President of the Alabama State Nurses Association, Lindsey Harris, says this is a reality for nurses.
“Imagine going home to your family, children, or grandparents and not knowing if you passed or transmitted Covid to your family,” said Harris.
