These 9 stories of New York nurses feel so close and so far（1）

2021-The New York Times interviewed nine New York University Medical Center nurses who were on the front line of the epidemic, and recorded their work, hopes and waiting.

Amanda Tallmed, 27 years old, senior clinical nurse

1、In my four-year career as a nurse, I have never been more anxious than I am now, and I feel like I have become a rookie nurse again.

You feel nervous all the time, adrenaline continues to soar, and you don't know what will happen next moment. In short, I think we are all terrified.

2、Now I change back to casual clothes when I get off work.

I have never done this before. I dare not bring my nurse's clothes into the house now. They will be left in the backyard by me and sent to the laundry room. And I will never wash my nurse's clothes at home again. I don't even wear the shoes I wear in the hospital.

It is very frustrating to feel that people are beginning to avoid us because we are nurses. We are risking our lives and doing our best to protect everyone.

"It feels like a year has passed,

　　 The long day seems endless. "
