Kelly is an OR nurse who has an extensive background in Intensive Care. At the peak of the pandemic, Kelly was floated to the Medical floor to take a team of patients. It was a very busy day with the acuity of the patients. There was a patient on the floor that day who was nearing the end of her life. Kelly was not going to allow this patient to pass alone as the individual had no family. Kelly stepped in, pulled up a chair, and held the hand of the frail patient as she took her last breath. I feel that this story demonstrates the love and compassion Kelly Earl has for every patient.
