Nellie the Nurse – Character Insight
I created Nellie the Nurse as part of my Canadian Trades/Professions Character Challenge. Nurses are vital to helping Canada with the deadly coronavirus. Nellie the Nurse is fighting a similar virus in Storyland, coryvirus.
It takes a lot of stamina and hard-work to fight a virus. Nurses are considered essential services. They are part of the frontlines. Nurses are working long hours and are exhausted. They know they still have a long fight ahead of them. They also know they are at risk for contracting this virus so they know it is essential to take extra precautions such as wearing masks and gloves.
We, as Canadians, need to show our respect to nurses and other health care professionals during this pandemic. They are risking their lives every single day, to save ours.
