I was having to go and make rounds and tell the nurses what the new guidelines were going to be today,” says nurse Keri Blouin. Our guidelines were changing every single day. You realize that yes, we are dealing with all these changes the best we can, but we as nurses, are also taking on this tremendous emotional weight. “I remember in the beginning, nurses would cry and then it would come up that one of them had held this man’s hand last night when he passed away. The field was changing constantly as the CDC and the various world leaders grappled with how to give direction for something that was an entirely new threat. Some hospitals, like Ochsner found out, that they already had coronavirus patients admitted, they just didn’t know it yet. Her job was especially challenging in the first few weeks, when the hospitals were expecting the arrival of coronavirus patients. Keri Blouin is an infection control nurse at Ochsner Baptist. She helps to make sure hospital employees are following basic principles of how to keep infection from spreading. There are over seven thousand nurses who work at the Ochsner Health System across Louisiana and Mississippi. Here we stand roughly halfway through 2020 in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020. Little did we know that the year dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, would come in and test the strength of the world and world’s hospitals. She would be known as the “Lady with the Lamp.” She was lighting the way for the men and women who would follow her path.Įarly last year, the World Health Organization designated the year 2020 as “the year of the nurse and midwife.” However, months ago, the world was blind to what was coming. ![]() Florence Nightingale became the founder of nursing, when she opened up her nursing school in London in 1860. ![]() OCHSNER BAPTIST, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA– Today we celebrate National Nurse Week. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated. The black Nightingale is the new design (pic taken from Pursebop’s “The Givenchy game”post.This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. So, after all my blabbing (yes, I know, I always write too much… can´t help it, I get too excited when the words Chanel, Hermès, Givenchy, Fendi, Prada, Delvaux, Valentino, Dior, Mulberry, LV, Goyard, Celine, Miu Miu etc etc etc come up), what are your thoughts on the Nightingale´s new design? So I guess I have to be thankful for the new design because I got the one I wanted at a great price (see, everything has a positive side)…I never cared if a bag is last season or discontinued model, if I like it now, I´ll cherish it forever…I was so so happy when I received exactly the one I wished for :) plus, hubby said “now we´re talking, this one is much prettier than that one we saw in paris” ) Thankfully my cousin´s girlfriend was visiting him in the US and found me the older model, in the size I wanted, aaaaaannnnndddd (even more important for “after wedding/honeymoon/apartment remodeling bankrupt me” hahaha), on sale because the model changed. But, to my surprise, I didn´t like the new design :( I showed it to hubby and his reaction was “this is the bag you like? it´s so lame… you have bags far prettier than this…” and I had to agree with him, I think the new design is not an upgrade to the older version…I don´t think it´s lame like DH said, but it just didn´t make my heart beat faster…and so we left the Givenchy stand to go drool over the Boys on the CC window display (me drool I mean, hubby just had that “I married a maniac” expression on his face while he saw hearts coming out of my eyes hahahaha) I have always been a fan of the Givenchy Nightingale Bag so during my Honeymoon trip to Italy, France and England I went into Galeries Lafayette in Paris to check it out and maybe convince hubby to let me buy one hehe.
