I’m now stationed on the Exped—I've seen my share of horrors. As much as I dislike this war, this is my place. This is where they need me the most.

See, nursing just isn't about mending patients' physical wounds, nor is it about helping the doctors. It's about healing souls—or at least providing them with hope. Without us, many of our patients would simply lose the will to live.

I still cry when a patient dies. They say when you're exposed to death as much as I've been, you become numb. It’s not true.

Whenever people imagine war, they think of heroic pilots flying starfighters or cap ships, not nurses. Even doctors get more praise than we do. I don't mind, though. All I want is to see my patients recover. It may sound too altruistic, but it's the absolute truth.
