'Why we took this job': Nurses fight to save lives, offer support in pandemic | Coronavirus


Jackie Korhut found herself in the eye of the COVID-19 hurricane in early December.
Inside a silent room at an otherwise empty bedside, the Indiana Regional Medical Center nurse said a prayer while holding her 80-year-old patient’s hand during his final moments.
Outside the hospital room, alarms were beeping during a “flood of sounds and emotion” – co-workers rushing to treat an almost endless inbound wave of sick or fading patients, she said.
And just beyond those walls, her patient’s grandson stood alone in a waiting area, grappling with the reality that the man he cherished was dying.
“To a lot of people right now, it’s easy to see these deaths as just a number,” she said. “But it’s different when it’s someone you love, or someone you work so hard to take care of – only to watch them go to the other side. We’re in here every single day doing whatever we can to save these people.”
