1. Nurse refuses to get flu shot or wear mask and is fired from job
“I love my job, and I loved the people I worked with,” said Carla Brock, a pre-admissions nurse. But “I have spiritual and religious reasons to not have those toxins in my body.”
“We jumped through the hoops,” she said. “We did all the right things. It’s obviously punitive. It’s obviously coercive.”

2. Local nurse hired to make sure people take their medications properly
“I’m able to be creative and implement a lot of programs I don’t think just being a clinical nurse you’re able to do,” said Alyssa Kaiser, a recent graduate from the Mass. College of Pharmacy and Health Science.
“What I’m trying to do is trying to take a look at all of the towns and trying to see what are the issues…in each one of the towns and what can we do to help solve that problem or prevent these issues?” she said. “I don’t think that has been addressed before.”

3. Nurses at bar (and off duty, obviously) save a local man who stumbles in with gunshot wounds
“He would have bled out and died right in the bar if we didn’t help him,” said Tim Carew, one of the nurses who worked on the man, whom police did not identify.
“He was leaking blood,” said Carew. “He needed to lay down or risk going into shock.”
“He kept saying, ‘I love you guys,'” said Carew.
