Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be on the front lines of a global pandemic? Join us as we sit down with Victoria Warren, who began her nursing career just before the COVID-19 pandemic erupted. She walks us through her harrowing experiences as an ICU nurse at one of the largest hospitals in the South. Victoria paints a vivid picture of the differences between ICU and med-surge nursing and shares the extraordinary measures she took to keep her loved ones safe. Listen to her recount the fear and uncertainty that medical professionals grappled with during those early chaotic days, highlighting the resilience and dedication that defined their efforts.
 
 Balancing work and family life during a crisis is no easy feat, and Victoria’s story is a powerful testament to that struggle. We delve into the emotional and physical toll that her demanding job exacted, especially while homeschooling her children. From long, grueling shifts to the psychological strain of constant life-and-death situations, Victoria’s account underscores the immense pressure faced by healthcare workers. The ripple effects on her children’s education and mental health reveal the broader impacts of the pandemic on families, emphasizing the urgent need for supportive systems for those on the front lines.
 
 In the final segment, we explore the transformative power of therapy, humor, and a strong support network. Victoria discusses how therapy helped her manage the emotional turmoil and how finding a fulfilling job brought renewed purpose. Discover the critical role of humor as a coping mechanism and the importance of self-care in sustaining mental health. We also highlight the upcoming Crew Classic golf tournament, which aims to raise funds for veteran suicide prevention and other vital causes, reminding us of the importance of supporting those who care for us. Join us in celebrating the resilience of healthcare professionals and the crucial role of kindness and support in our communities.
