        The main goal of this study was to understand the perceptions of nurses who cared for&#xD;
        patients with Covid-19 at the onset of the pandemic in Northeast USA. Private interviews were&#xD;
        held three times with each participant, over the period of 18 months. The interviews were&#xD;
        examined for common themes and expressions used by nurses to describe such topics as their&#xD;
        professional image, memories, and advise to other nurses.&#xD;

        This study was conducted in a single institution. Forty-one (41) nurses were recruited from&#xD;
        various units in the medical center. An effort was made to invite nurses from different&#xD;
        clinical units, as well as inexperienced and experienced nurses, and males as well as&#xD;
        females. To obtain variety in the participants a randomization list (list of names placed in&#xD;
        order by a computer) was used to invite nurses. Participants consented and were aware that&#xD;
        they would be interviewed three times. The interviews were recorded for transcription and&#xD;
        subsequent analysis.&#xD;
