Figuracion’s advice to other nursing students during COVID is that, “You have to persevere. These times are tough for everyone and none of this is natural to us. Wearing masks and face shields and standing six feet apart that’s not human. Human interaction is being close and interacting with one another, so you just have to persevere and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
