Local ICU nurse gets the surprise of her life | HOUSTON LIFE | KPRC 2

Christie Purviance spends her days heroically caring for sick patients. Now her good karma has come back in a big way!

[@RM23459]

That is the reason why me as a Doctor, love all my nurses... without her we are nothing.

[@jaimedornanlady7309]

Thank you! As an RN for 30 years, that means a lot for us to hear from the doctors! Many walk right past us and never bother to say hello or even learn our names, while we cater to their every need, in addition to caring for our patients. There are many doctors I’ve worked with over the years that I’m on a first name basis with & consider them a friend as well as a colleague, & would do anything for them. The ones who ignore us, treat us like we’re nothing, & don’t take the time to learn our names or get to know us-not so much.

[@martyedwards5376]

MY WIFE IS AN RN TOO....God bless our HARD WORKING nurses!

[@Trish0305]

Totally agree 💯🙏✌️

[@Finallyretired2022]

I’m a retired RN of 43yrs and I am so proud of the nurses we have today carrying the lamp !!!

[@Ecthelion1967]

You are a hero Terrie! I have relatives working, and that have been working in the health department. During this pandemic ive lost family and friends. Your words and this video actually made me cry for real for the first time. May the Lord shine on you and all who does good in the world. And thank you all, i needed this!

[@Mr.Opinion]

Doctors and nurses; our caregivers. They are underpaid.

[@jeadie2273]

And if I hear one more person say “none of this was real”…or that “people were not THAT sick”…I’m gonna snap. I work in an ICU in Ohio, on the front line and saw our nurses work their butts off to keep people alive…no extra pay, no recognition…just doing their job. I was proud to be a part of their team. Great story. She deserved this and a thousand times more.

[@alexanderbemar2637]

This nurse and others who left their family to save other lives are real Godly live Angels. God is with them. They deserved to be recognized and honored!

In our family 4 people came down with covid. My wife's sister was in a coma for 4 days after she was admitted to hospital for brain related problems and was dignosed with covid the night before her surgery. They needed to release pressure on her brain. Still not done as the 3rd wave hit us about a month ago. Still sufferi g from severe headaches. Almost like having strokes. I agree people should get a wakeup call as this virus is no joke and kills indiscremanently

I believe in angels have been looking after good people for hundreds of years. Thank you angel nurse.

[@ferox965]

In 1999, due to severe Ulcerative Colitis, I had to have an Ileostomy done. I got infected and slipped into a coma for two months. Had to be reopened twice and had a near lethal blood clot in my leg. I should have died. Missed my 23rd birthday. I survived somehow...and almost a year later I went back to the floor and visited everyone. Got a big bouquet of flowers for all the nurses. It was pretty emotional. We all promised to never see each other again under these circumstances. The 965 in my nickname was my room number where I woke up from my coma and every year since then, every July 27th, no matter where I am, I raise a shot of whiskey to the surgeon who saved my life,Best wishes to this nurse from Canada.

[@Stussmeister]

As someone who has been treated by nurses for various medical conditions and who has nurses within my family, I firmly believe that pretty much anyone who wants to be, is in the process of becoming, or is already a nurse is, in my opinion, an angel with wings only a select few can see.

[@mikegermain7033]

Very few people in this world would be so dedicated this woman is a complete angel.

[@nursetazzi]

I cared for covid patients on the recovering end as a home health nurse. Even though they were home, they were still sick---very weak, on oxygen, unable to even walk through the house without getting short of breath. Some of them were sent home too soon, and that's how I caught it. It is very real, and was very deadly in the pre-vaccine days. That this nurse sacrificed her time with her baby and husband to care for someone else's husband is what we do, and it's awesome that one of us was recognized for that.

[@lamechpamei95]

May God bless to all the Nurses and Doctors who took care of the sick people. Watching this video makes me so emotional as many never realize how dedicated and caring all nurses is. They deserve better recognition by all. Thanks for sharing such beautiful moving video.
