Question

essay on life lessons what coronavirus taught me​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Throughout my 35-plus years working in a hospital environment, first as a nurse, then a nurse leader and now the chief nursing officer for a 700-plus-bed hospital, I have humbly learned a lot. Our front-line caregivers are our greatest source for what works and what doesn’t — with many life lessons to be learned as we go.

As health care leaders, we likely can agree that some of the most difficult situations are the ones in which we learn how to improve our policies and procedures. Those can be painful, but if we’re open to it, we can listen and learn how to do things better and even learn something about ourselves as leaders. That is why I am glad to be part of the AHA Living Learning Network (LLN), which has connected me with colleagues across the nation to share our experiences.

At Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington, we were involved very early in this pandemic. In February, four cruise ship passengers who tested positive for COVID-19 were sent to Sacred Heart to recuperate in our Special Pathogens Unit. As any hospital team does when asked, we sprang into action. There were so many moving parts, and additionally, national media attention shone on the hospital as we navigated very early patient care for a new, highly contagious respiratory virus.

Answer 2

Answer:

For the past year, our country has been mired in not one deep crisis but three: a pandemic, an economic meltdown and one of the most fraught political transitions in our history. Interwoven in all three have been challenging issues of racial disparity and fairness. Dealing with all of this has dominated much of our energy, attention and, for many Americans, even our emotions.

But spring is nearly here, and we are, by and large, moving past the worst moments as a nation — which makes it a good time to take a deep breath and assess the changes that have occurred. While no one would be displeased if we could magically erase this whole pandemic experience, it's been the crucible of our lives for a year, and we have much to learn from it — and even much to gain.
