The heroes I admired did not turn back in the face of adversity. The heroes kept…fighting even when there was no clear end in sight. Thank you for being our heroes.

What we are hearing from you is: Will I bring this disease home to my family?…Here, you are still making selfless sacrifices for others, because that’s just what you do!

You show the world what concerns are there, and guide others…with the therapeutic relationships you build. Your endless efforts have made this a worldwide centred care.

Thank you, Nurse, for the resolve and bravery with which you do your job, doing the best you can with what you

This virus is like a monster and you are the soldiers, going on the battlefield every day, serving and saving the nation.

In times of crisis, nurses inspire confidence in people that they will be taken care of. Some people will never feel safe going to a hospital, but nurses go to where they are.
— P.D.F., York University Nursing student
It is you, the nurse fighting on the front lines, looking the pandemic in the eye; you might be a parent, a spouse, someone’s son or daughter… but most of all you are a leader.
— E.F., York University Nursing student
Who you are as a person is an inspiration, and what you are doing is seen, recognized, and appreciated by so many.
