Fears of the pandemic weren t realized last spring, says Kate MacWilliams, but they are happening now.(Submitted by Kate MacWilliams)
Kate MacWilliams, a nurse manager at Toronto s St. Joseph s Health Centre, has taken on a lot more responsibility since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has put the native of Summerside, P.E.I., in a position to see the stress that each of the three waves of the pandemic has put on nurses in Ontario. The worst keeps coming, said MacWilliams. When I look back to where we were in March and April of last year, you know, here in the west end of Toronto, we were pretty scared. [We were] uncertain about what was to come. And it never really came to the extent that we thought it would.
