Our Nurses Are In A Battle Everyday

They go to work daily, treating COVID-19 patients, doing extended shifts without taking breaks and thinking about their health. Many of their co-nursing staff are showing the symptoms of coronavirus, but still, they are standing strong, taking the precautionary measures and doing their professional duties with utmost dedication. The Prime Minister Of Australia said in a statement: "I want to thank our nurses for what you do every single day. You see it’s not the only coronavirus, our nurses are in a battle every day against accidents, burns, cancers, heart disease, schizophrenia, MS and so many other illnesses. And our midwives are there for every birth, helping mums at that most precious time,” As a layman, we can’t even imagine the situation or feelings that nurses go through daily. Sometimes they see a patient recover and sometimes turning into a dead body. But neither of this affect their allegiance towards their work. They serve people in the worst of situation treating them not only physically but supporting them mentally as well to keep the faith and fight against the disease.
