Help the helpers Nurses are on the frontlines in the battle against COVID-19, and frankly, I am worried for them. I'm sure you are, too. I no longer work in the clinical space but have many friends and family members who still work in direct patient care. While they feel they have a duty as nurses to care for patients, they are also afraid. Afraid they will contract the virus. Afraid they will unknowingly spread it to their friends, family, and patients. Afraid for their jobs as elective procedures and surgeries have been put on hold. On top of this, they are trying to manage in this new world where we are isolating ourselves from neighbors, friends, and relatives. In this issue, we share two stories on how to help RNs cope during this uncertain time. First, an article on second victim syndrome and second, how to support healthcare workers' mental health.
