Caregivers mourn the passing of colleague Article by February 16, 2021 Nurses across the island are distraught and saddened at the loss of one of their own who died from COVID-19 on Sunday. President of the Barbados Nurses’ Association (BNA) Joannah Waterman, said her passing has impacted the nursing community deeply. Waterman told the media that colleagues who worked with the nurse on the frontline described her as a professional who was dedicated to her job, worked hard and went above the call of duty to show care and concern for patients who had no relatives. “She also extended that care and concern to her colleagues who described her as a very loving, caring person. Indeed, she will be greatly missed by the nursing community,” Waterman said.
