A thank you to our nation’s nurses
#AFiveMillionMoment
Every day, across the nation, more than 5 million nurses—RNs, CNAs, LPNs, NPs, and other nursing professionals—create singular moments of healing that transform lives. Many of us at Fresenius Kabi have experienced #AFiveMillionMoment when we or a loved one has needed it most. It’s one of the many reasons we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with nurses, pledging to use our strength, experience, and passion to support the work they do.
Three Fresenius Kabi employees generously offered to share their personal stories in which they came to recognize the deep importance of the nursing profession.
There are more than 5 million nursing professionals in America, and so each of these stories is truly #AFiveMillionMoment, repeated thousands of times, every minute of the day, every day of the year.
Nurses create moments of healing
Cori
When Cori gave birth prematurely to her daughter Elliana, a moment usually filled with joy was clouded by uncertainty. In the film below, Cori shares #AFiveMillionMoment of how Elliana’s NICU nurse, Beth, calmly and confidently helped Cori navigate the challenges that come with a baby born at 27 weeks —who’s now a thriving 13-year-old.
Jessica
Jessica remembers the moment she was heading into surgery, and her nurse Katina appeared. Katina reassured her, as she had from the day Jessica was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. In the film below, Jessica, now cancer-free, shares #AFiveMillionMoment of how Katina took away her fear.
Shanu
No one is ever ready to say goodbye to a loved one. In the film below, Shanu shares #AFiveMillionMoment, of how, with the compassion of a team of hospice nurses, she and her family were able to spend their final moments with their mother at home, facing each step in the process with dignity.
