Even with the shortage of RNs across the country, meaning more patients and more work, emergency room Nurse Tori Glaze said the nurses around her at the hospital are her support. She graduated during the pandemic and cannot see herself doing anything else.
“It’s hard to find words. It’s the most amazing, satisfying, amazing experience to be able to have this kind of impact on someone’s life," she said.
