What is this article about?

During crises, nurses are some of the first people to jump into the fire, and their individual and collective response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been no exception. Nurses are always there. Call a code? A nurse is on the spot to help save a life. Witness a car accident? A nurse passing by leaps from her own vehicle to help. Someone is suffering a stroke in a restaurant? There’s often a nurse providing first aid or supportive care.
