Allina Health COVID nurse publishes memoir detailing life on the front lines of the pandemic

[WCCO-TV News, November 03, 2022] An east metro mother has a second career she never saw coming. She's now a published author. Amanda Peterson, an ICU nurse at United, had a front row view to the pandemic.

"Just the severity of what we were seeing was unparalleled to anything I had seen in my 14 years prior," she recalled.

The nurse who was in school to advance her degree was also trying to homeschool her children amidst the pandemic. Through it all, she became a writer.

Peterson started writing social media posts, on her pages in class. A lot of her words were written in the parking ramp of the hospital.
