1
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,088
Let's go!
2
00:00:05,088 --> 00:00:06,548
This way, you guys!
3
00:00:08,049 --> 00:00:09,551
It's a wonderful place that we live.
4
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:11,970
We feel so lucky to be here.
5
00:00:13,555 --> 00:00:16,891
I do believe that home is
the most healing environment.
6
00:00:27,444 --> 00:00:30,405
I'm a registered nurse
with Coram CVS Specialty.
7
00:00:30,655 --> 00:00:32,866
I've been working for this
company for 13 years.
8
00:00:33,825 --> 00:00:38,872
I do home infusions for therapies
related to rare disease diagnoses
9
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:40,999
and genetic diseases.
10
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:44,252
I always took a lot of pride in my practice
11
00:00:44,252 --> 00:00:45,920
and the care that I provided patients.
12
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:50,216
Things shifted when
13
00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:52,343
I became a mother to Oliver.
14
00:00:53,553 --> 00:00:55,764
We wanted to be parents really bad.
15
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:59,976
We had just gone through an IVF procedure
16
00:00:59,976 --> 00:01:01,728
and I had gotten pregnant
17
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:04,564
and then we ended up losing the pregnancy.
18
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:09,027
And so we decided to pursue adoption.
19
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,237
We got a call about Oliver.
20
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:14,491
They told me, "This is
what's going on with him.
21
00:01:14,491 --> 00:01:18,870
He might not ever see, he might not ever
hear, he might not ever walk or talk."
22
00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:22,207
We got to go and meet him in the hospital
23
00:01:22,207 --> 00:01:23,833
and James and I
24
00:01:23,833 --> 00:01:25,585
I mean, we just fell in love with him.
25
00:01:26,419 --> 00:01:30,006
The most healing he ever did
was when he came home.
26
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:33,426
Now I was on the receiving end.
27
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:35,345
We had nurses coming to our home.
28
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:37,722
We had medical equipment in our home.
29
00:01:38,556 --> 00:01:42,143
But I'm forever grateful because
it made me a better person
30
00:01:42,143 --> 00:01:43,103
a better mom
31
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,104
and a better nurse.
32
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:52,070
Angela is someone who I just adore.
33
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:54,239
I've been seeing her for three or four years.
34
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,408
She has a really complex medical history.
35
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:57,826
Hey!
36
00:01:57,826 --> 00:01:58,326
Hi, Chels!
37
00:01:58,326 --> 00:01:59,119
<i>How's it going?</i>
38
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,496
Chelsey comes to my house
about every two weeks
39
00:02:01,496 --> 00:02:04,415
to do my infusion,
which lasts sometimes five, six hours.
40
00:02:04,415 --> 00:02:05,291
<i>Let's get to it.</i>
41
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:06,251
<i>You ready?</i>
42
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:10,296
It just makes it a little bit more
relaxing versus going to the hospital.
43
00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:13,925
It actually has given me a little
bit more of my life back.
44
00:02:14,217 --> 00:02:16,136
We clicked kind of right off the bat.
45
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:19,764
We've built enough of a personal
relationship that I send updates about
46
00:02:19,764 --> 00:02:23,226
my kids and she sends me
updates about her family.
47
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:27,522
Even on the days that we're not here doing
the infusion, she'll call and check in.
48
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:30,650
So she's been such a great blessing to me.
49
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:35,530
Being a nurse means
showing up for the hard parts.
50
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:40,493
With Angela’s IV, her veins were just
not able to withstand the treatment.
51
00:02:41,119 --> 00:02:43,580
I remember calling her and saying,
"I think I got a blood clot.
52
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:44,956
I need to go to the E.R."
53
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:48,293
And so after that, my doctor
54
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:49,794
decided to put in the port.
55
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:52,922
She called me and she felt very nervous.
56
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:56,342
I was just like, "Chelsey,
what am I going to do?"
57
00:02:57,135 --> 00:02:59,804
Luckily, I have taken care of
patients with ports before
58
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:01,931
so I was able to reassure her.
59
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:05,643
One of the biggest things that
I try to be for my patients is
60
00:03:05,643 --> 00:03:07,604
someone who they can trust.
61
00:03:09,105 --> 00:03:12,817
It took me a little bit to think about it
because it was a big move
62
00:03:12,817 --> 00:03:18,531
but calling her and her calming me down
actually was the most amazing thing.
63
00:03:18,531 --> 00:03:21,451
She's a fighter for us when we're down.
64
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:25,413
It's been a blessing to be able to be
there for her and listen to her.
65
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:27,207
<i>Stay behind Mommy.</i>
66
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:30,501
Home to me means somewhere
where you belong, where you feel safe
67
00:03:30,501 --> 00:03:33,463
where you know that this
is kind of your sanctuary.
68
00:03:33,838 --> 00:03:39,761
That's why I think doing my nursing in
the home environment is so key for people.
69
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:42,347
I’ve seen it myself
and I see it in my patients
70
00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:44,224
and so that’s why I love
doing what I do.
71
00:03:44,807 --> 00:03:45,767
My name's Chelsey.
72
00:03:46,351 --> 00:03:47,644
I'm a home infusion nurse.
73
00:03:48,144 --> 00:03:49,562
I am CVS Health.
