Amber Holshue is a senior professional nurse II working in the adult intensive care unit at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital.

She has been an ICU nurse at Magee for four years. The covid-19 outbreak has made her work even more challenging. The hospital now cannot have visitors in the ICU , which is a big change. Holshue and her colleagues are spending a lot of time just sitting with the patients.

In this edition of Answering the Call, Holshue talks about how she is supporting her patients and their families during the pandemic and the support that helps her make it through the day.
