According to a survey conducted by Hospital IQ in November 2021, 91% of nurses considered leaving or were actively looking to leave the nursing profession during the COVID pandemic. From learning how to take blood pressure on a mannequin in school to providing compassion and comfort to the dying in the ICU, Joselyn shared her path into nursing during a pandemic, the heartbreaking challenges she faced in her first year as a nurse at the height of COVID, and how she managed to find hope amid struggle.
In today’s episode of the Your Health Unlocked Podcast, we spoke with Joselyn Lantigua, a Postpartum Nurse and former COVID ICU Nurse working on the front lines in Houston, Texas.
Joselyn Lantigua is a Postpartum Nurse currently living in Houston, Texas. She graduated from an Accelerated Nursing program in May 2021, earning her second bachelor’s degree and certification. Joselyn was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. After five years as an educator administrator, she switched careers to become a nurse during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
