Thank you for the documentary. As a nurse practitioner student, Tarik Khan’s story was heartfelt and inspired me. He and many nurses in the field have gone above and beyond to take care of their patients, communities, and coworkers. It was great hearing about the experience of nurses from different perspectives. The documentary succeeded in delivering the message that despite challenges brought on by the pandemic, nurses will step up and overcome.Thank you for the documentary.

Kudos for this most excellent video documentary attestation of Nursing's "Diversity - Inclusion - Equity", across the various specialties & care locations within the Nursing Profession, as well as persons/patients/clients served, during this COVID-19 Pandemic (March 2020 ---> present date of viewing: November 2021). Seeing COVID-19's impact on the still-required-rigorous Nursing Education, as described and demonstrated by Professor Lim & Student Nurses, was absolutely inspiring! Thank you!

I enjoyed the diversity of nursing practice settings included in this video. I think the nurses who show up every day and really care for their patients are the true heroes. They risk themselves, their families yet they care enough to ease our burden. Thank you

This video shares various view points for the community. I believe it will help society understand the complexities of the various roles health care professionals must practice to meet the multidimensional needs of patient care. I especially enjoy the part of the video that explains the different roles of the community and how the community and Health care are inter-related. Without this inter-related relationship, healthcare can not thrive to meet the growing demands of society. A healthcare system must collaborate with all stakeholders to meet the needs of all stakeholders, simply put. Thank you for sharing.
