00:01.250 --> 00:03.472
I'm a little sad to leave Connecticut ,

00:03.740 --> 00:06.620
because again , the people here have

00:06.620 --> 00:08.287
been very kind to us and very

00:08.287 --> 00:10.620
supportive . So I will miss a lot of

00:10.620 --> 00:12.980
things about Connecticut and about ,

00:12.990 --> 00:15.157
you know , friends we made at Stanford

00:15.157 --> 00:18.290
Health . But equally , I'm leaving ,

00:18.290 --> 00:20.346
happy with the experiences that I've

00:20.346 --> 00:22.568
had knowing that I've made a difference

00:22.568 --> 00:24.623
here . For me , the most challenging

00:24.623 --> 00:28.350
part was we got a call to be ready

00:28.350 --> 00:30.950
in 48 hours and report in 48 hours with

00:30.950 --> 00:33.840
all of what we had at at the time .

00:33.850 --> 00:35.961
Excuse me . At the time of the call ,

00:36.020 --> 00:38.290
this was still unfolding . Scenario .

00:38.390 --> 00:42.040
Um , nobody really had quite a

00:42.040 --> 00:44.040
handle on it because it's the first

00:44.040 --> 00:46.096
time any of us in the world has ever

00:46.096 --> 00:48.318
experienced this . It was very exciting

00:48.318 --> 00:50.318
and somewhat challenging to kind of

00:50.318 --> 00:53.470
navigate the uncertainty of what we

00:53.470 --> 00:56.320
were doing . Despite the certainty of

00:56.330 --> 00:58.274
we were going to serve where we're

00:58.274 --> 01:01.750
needed and be a part of the response

01:02.230 --> 01:05.210
for helping people manage co get

01:06.340 --> 01:09.120
well . I'm very happy to have been here .

01:09.130 --> 01:11.186
I really love what I do is a nurse ,

01:11.186 --> 01:13.610
and I really love what I do as an army

01:13.610 --> 01:15.777
nurse . I think the thing I would most

01:15.777 --> 01:18.880
like to convey is that I am very

01:18.880 --> 01:21.820
thankful for the support given to us by

01:21.820 --> 01:24.042
brothers and sisters in the Connecticut

01:24.042 --> 01:25.764
National Guard , the people of

01:25.764 --> 01:27.876
Connecticut , Stanford Health and the

01:27.876 --> 01:29.820
American people at large , because

01:29.820 --> 01:31.931
without their support , really , what

01:31.931 --> 01:33.170
we dio wouldn't be able to be done .
