Summary

Have you ever stopped to wonder how life has been for the people who have been on the frontline of fighting COVID-19 - their experiences, how they are treated, how they are able to cope with the extreme pressure, seeing death everywhere, and risking being infected all the time?

And have you wondered why nurses would be threatening to strike and others even strike in the middle of the pandemic to get a full glimpse of what has really been going on but has gone unreported?

If you’ve answered yes, keep reading...

You are about to step into a frontline nurse’s world for a moment, to get a glimpse of just how this pandemic has been brutal for the frontline nurses all over the world!

The pandemic has been brutal for nurses and other frontline workers. With nurses always dealing with COVID-19 cases every single day, seeing patients in thousands develop moderate to severe symptoms and others dying of COVID-19 related complications, you can agree with me that nurses have really seen the pandemic from a completely different perspective compared to everyone else.

And this perspective hasn’t been one that anyone "outside" could ever imagine.

From extremely long working hours, the scare of getting infected with COVID-19, to the trauma of seeing disease, sickness, and death everywhere, to mistreatment by company representatives, to being not welcomed by locals, to someone on the outside, the details in this book will literally make you wonder whether what’s in this book is really true.

Written by one of the many traveling nurses who has been to several states and seen it all, from New York to the Mexican border to Illinois and Texas, her account of her experiences in her line of duty will leave you with a new perspective about so many things about the pandemic.

Follow her account as she talks about:

  • How she found herself right in the middle of the pandemic working as a travel nurse in New York
  • The 21 days that proved to be a living hell for her and other nurses in New York
  • A story of how she came to not get too optimistic with COVID-19 patients
  • The challenges nurses faced in New York
  • How people have been so discriminative of nurses
  • How nurses’ lives didn’t matter on the battlefront
  • The pressure nurses have had to work under throughout the pandemic
  • The troubles we had to go through working in Texas, Illinois, and several other places
  • My experience working in a state correctional facility as a COVID-19 nurse
  • An inside look into one of the crazy contracts I had to work with
  • The struggles nurses go through behind the smiling faces while facing the pandemic head-on and coping mechanisms that have proven effective
  • The unexpected harsh realities of the life of nurses on the frontline
  • Lessons I have learned throughout the pandemic
  • What you can do support nurses on the frontline
  • An open letter to nurses on the frontline
  • My thoughts about the vaccine
  • And much more!

Even if you’ve never been interested in the pandemic, this book will give you a new perspective about everything to do with the pandemic.
