We are thrilled to bring you Felicia Temple: contender on The Voice in 2017, accomplished musician, and ICU nurse.
Felicia has been receiving media attention in the past few weeks since an interview during Global Citizen's "One World: Together At Home” concert. She was on an international music tour in Brussels, when she found out the US planned to close its borders. Within a week, she was “rolling up her sleeves” and got back to work at her former nursing job, this time in the newly set up covid-19 ICU of Holy Name Medical Center.
She returned to her hospital but everything felt different than before she had left to pursue her music career, several months before. Felicia wanted to be back on the frontlines with her former coworkers, in a job she has always loved, where her biggest personal challenge is not being able to see her family.
Felicia wants people to know that as a nurse, she doesn’t feel like a hero. “We do it because we love this job and it’s our duty, it’s what we signed up for. People are working hard like this every day because they love their jobs, not just because there’s a global crisis.”
Listen in for Felicia's stories and suggested quick self care activities from the Playing to Live clinical team inspired by her story.
