Abstract
Description
In this series of journal entries, Participant 181 shares their experience of being exposed to the COVID-19 virus, facing challenges with getting tested, and finding relief after receiving a negative test result. They discuss navigating virtual learning during the pandemic as a nursing student. The entries, written during the holiday season of 2020, document the participant's feelings over a socially- distanced Thanksgiving and how it affected their family and relatives. They express sadness over missing out on many traditional activities during their holiday season, but believe sacrifices must be made for the health and safety of everyone.
