Nursing is a demanding profession during normal times. But the COVID-19 pandemic has put nurses on the front line of the greatest health crisis in more than 100 years, placing their physical health at risk and forcing long, stressful days and nights that tax energy and emotions.
Through this most difficult year, nurses have risen to that challenge, saving lives and comforting patients and families through their struggles.

Starting today at nwi.com/nurses, people can nominate a nurse who made a difference in their life or the life of a loved one during 2020.

Jones had plenty she loved in life: cooking, playing bingo, karaoke and watching Colts football with her husband, Paul.
She was witty. She was caring. She was selfless, according to her obituary. But above all, she was strong.
Her family saw her at her weakest point, afflicted by the novel coronavirus and forced to be on a ventilator in a hospital intensive care unit.
She was on the ventilator 41 days, off the vent for 10 days, but then back on the breathing machine before she died, her daughter, Lori Anthony, said.
She just missed – by less than two weeks – celebrating her 72nd birthday.
