Wearing a “Grey’s Anatomy” cap, Allan Kinyua, a certified nursing assistant at UW Medicine’s NW campus, checks the computer to see which patients he will be caring for during his upcoming shift Friday, June 17, 2022. Grey’s Anatomy is a fictional medical drama series about a group of doctors at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. Kinyua is about to receive his bachelor’s degree in nursing later this summer from UW. He immigrated here from Kenya about three years ago and found a passion in health care service (first starting in home care before working in hospital ICUs). He’s excited about jumping into a full-time nursing job once he graduates from his program, but has feelings of apprehension about the industry, especially after seeing the toll the pandemic took. Some things he worries about is working mandatory double shifts/overtime because of staff shortages, and unsafe patient conditions. The nursing and health care industry, which was applauded at the beginning of the pandemic, has endured a long two-plus years — and even as COVID numbers become more stable, health care staffers remain exhausted. Hospital beds are still quite full, and issues of delayed care and difficulty discharging patients to long-term care facilities persist. Kinyua has experienced both the celebration of hospital workers and the horrible reality of working in health care through a pandemic. 220735
