Lissa Aires Nurse Exclusive ✧

At 1:12 a.m., the emergency bell rang. Lissa sprinted, heart steady, training igniting. The trauma bay held a young woman with a shattered femur and a worried boyfriend who kept asking if she’d be okay. Lissa relayed information to the ER team, set up IV access, and administered pain control per protocol. Her hands were efficient but gentle; she explained each step to the patient and placed a cool compress on her forehead. The attending physician later praised her clarity and speed—small acknowledgments that made the long hours worth it.
