Today I'm talking to Heather Tomazin, a nurse who is currently working on the frontlines with COVID-19 patients in New York City.  I met Heather through an article I wrote for Well+Good about her experience working with COVID-19 patients since early March. 

Heather is new to NYC and graduated pretty recently, but I think she is wise beyond her years. She is literally being thrown into the fire at the beginning of her career with this crisis and I so admire her positivity, her selflessness, and drive to help her patients. 

Topics we cover:

-Heather's experience as a new nurse and recent NYC transplant

-How she volunteered to be one of the first nurses to work on the COVID unit in her hospital

-How she's handling the crisis personally and at work

-How she is coping with new anxiety + managing her mental health

-Her journey with wellness and finding solutions for her health through functional medicine and nutrition

-What she wants people to know that she doesn't think the media is talking about enough

-How to keep the healthcare system from getting overwhelmed
