The medical profession has always been a challenging field. However, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 may prove to be one of the largest challenges that people in the healthcare profession will face.
For former Temple Lacrosse player Avery Longstaff, facing a challenge is the reason she entered the field. "I chose nursing because I wanted to be challenged, I wanted to be a part of a team, and I wanted to be able to connect with and support people in a really direct way," Avery explained.
Nursing is a profession that runs in the family for the Longstaffs.
