Nursing student Kaitlyn McCarthy didn’t know what to expect when COVID-19 hit, but she did know that she needed to help. "Either I roll with it or it's going to roll over me," the co-chair of Windsor’s Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital Youth Advisory Committee says. “I ...decided that I’m going to move with it and that’s where my future will take me.” McCarthy began working as a summer student with the migrant worker COVID-19 assessment team at Erie Shores Healthcare, also in Windsor. She says the experience, checking in migrant workers for assessment, was one of the best things to ever happen to her. "I've been able to learn more about my community and I've been able to learn how, in the future...when I become a registered nurse...I'll be able to help my patients," she says. "It's humbling and it's exciting and it's a new way to learn for me." Despite a language barrier, McCarthy was able to provide support to a worker who was fearful about dying after one of his colleagues passed away from the virus. She says that being on the front-line of COIVD-19 isn’t easy. “You have to put your whole heart into this.” (CBC.ca, Aug. 22)
