JACKIE
ETTIPIO

REGISTERED NURSE,

MERCY HOSPITAL

"My hands were used to write the most endearing, meaningful, love-filled, full of advice letter to my sons in case I did not come home right away, or at all, when I went to work at the COVID center. My hands grabbed and helped me hug + kiss my sons and fiancee as I set off for my first day at the COVID center. My hands placed my cell phone into a plastic baggie. My hands dialed family members of patients, through the baggie, so the family member could speak to the patients in drug-induced comas."
