Why I'm coming out of retirement as a nurse to help fight coronavirus

Summary

The four chief nursing officers of the UK asked all nurses who have retired from nursing in the last three years to consider re-joining the register held by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and come back into practice to help health and care services to support patients with COVID-19.
