A natural disaster is giving hospice nurses another reason to shine. Last month, two nurses braved flood waters to deliver care to a hospice patient on a flooded island in the Mississippi River. The nurses had to walk and take a boat to the patient’s house on Campbell’s Island, near East Moline, Illinois, reported WQAD-TV. “These patients need us, we can’t have the flood waters keep us from doing [our] job,” one of the nurses told the news station. “This is the time when they need us the most.” “They just blow my socks off,” said the patient’s brother-in-law.
