An ICU Nurse, Pauline Poblete Gets Covid-19 and is Admitted to her ICU

On this episode of Found Down, I interview ICU nurse Pauline Poblete about her experience getting Covid-19 in the beginning of the pandemic, what it felt like to be so sick, being admitted to her own ICU and what it was like being on a ventilator. Pauline shares her terrifying story and her road to recovery. She also gives us, nurses and healthcare workers her wisdom on how we can do better for our patients.

This is an intense story as Pauline shares her journey with this diagnosis and how she is doing today.

Thank you so much for being on the show. I'm so happy you are almost back to your baseline.

Stay Safe and Stay Sane,

Nicole
