I am glad to hear an update about Nurse Nina, and life after Ebola

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-ebola-texas-nurse-idUSKCN12O2AF

(link to news article above)

I cannot even begin to imagine the journey that she went through.  I hope and pray that she finds healing.  I hope that she doesn’t quit nursing and leave our profession forever.  I truly believe that we need more nurses like Nina Pham.  

I am a big cheerleader for Nina.  She stood by the code of ethics that we took when we graduated.  She is the nurse I hope to be- all the time.

Her story hit so close to home for me personally.  We are the same age.  Are nurses for about the same amount of time.  We both have a small dog.  She could have been any one of us.  We have learned so much from her story.

The nurse was ignorant for flying on a commercial flight days after being in contact with a man who died of ebola, she put other peoples lives at risk. It wasn't her fault she got it, and helping that man was a good thing, but she was an idiot for flying across the country on a commercial flight and nothing changes that.

I am going to politely strongly disagree with what you sent me.

and just place this here:

Right is what the Nurses had access to to take care of the ebola patient

Left is what the CDC has access to to take care of an ebola patient

Have a nice day!
