This is a surprise live with my guest here today, Jill. She is here to tell us a lot about her struggles in this little passion project she has: Save Restaurants, Feed Nurses.
Jill Cohen is working as a remote nurse right now in a virtual team with a group called One Medical Group, their primary care group. She worked in a hospital for twenty years and eighteen years in the ER. She wanted to use her degree in English and writing back into her nursing career so she started shifting gears.
She realized that she has this flexibility. She took what she knows and did a little bit of a passion project on the side. We are going to talk about her struggles in the messaging that she put forth and how that relates to us as writers. We will also tackle other essential things like what we write for clients, how we struggle with messaging, and how she overcomes that. But we're going to talk more about her passion project because she thinks it can really help many of the nurses in the frontline right now.
As the months of the pandemic started wearing on, Jill fell for the people who are still on the frontline who she’s not working alongside anymore, in harm's way, at-risk, being understaffed, and overworked. People are having a really hard time. She noticed that the efforts at the beginning of the pandemic, there are great efforts to help nurses and boost morale. There's a program that feeds the frontliners but in the next few months, it died down.
Jill thought that they need it now more than ever because we have months on top of months of more backbreaking work and that when you really need the boost, support, help, the show of recognition and appreciation. Just someone who’ll give you free food is of really great help and appreciation. So she came up with the idea to resuscitate those efforts.
She raised the money and connected with a local restaurant to give free food to the frontliners.
