#YUSupportsNurses

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.

— C.T., York University Nursing student

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!

— R.W., York University Nursing student

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.

— E.A., York University Nursing student

No one can really understand how it is to be there, how to leave your family and home to save others on the front line.

— O.G., York University Nursing student

I can only imagine the strength that it must take to be strong when many others can be weak and scared.

It takes courage, compassion, and dedication to be doing what you are doing and are prepared to do during this pandemic we are facing.

There may not be a cure for COVID-19 yet, but I would say nurses are the closest thing to one…I could not have asked for a greater role model.

— B.M., York University Nursing student

You are being a leader in showing the public the dedication, accountability and courage that nurses have.

— M.Y., York University Nursing student

Your day to day victories may not seem huge at the time, but each accomplishment is contributing to healing our world as a whole.

— A.R., York University Nursing student

Thank you for enduring something that many could not and even more aspire to have the strength to do.

— P.M., York University Nursing student

Thank you, Nurse, for the resolve and bravery with which you do your job, doing the best you can with what you
have and embodying…selflessness.

— L.R., York University Nursing student

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

— F.R., York University Nursing student

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.
