ince the pandemic began, National Nurses
United has been tracking the nationwide deaths
of registered nurses and other health care
workers because our federal, state, and local gov-
ernments—and our employers—weren't doing so.
We are grieved to report that, as of press time, we
have recorded 340 RN deaths, 20 of which have
been NNU members. We will continue to write
obituaries honoring our members as soon as enough information
becomes available, and continue to fight for the day when there are
no new names to report.
Amelia Agbigay Baclig
when amelia agbigay baclig wasn't working her night shift
as a registered nurse, her evenings at home were a time of
celebration.
"When it was my mom's day off, it was literally a party," said her
eldest daughter Aubrey Joy. "It was such a big deal."
In Memoriam
Honoring our NNU RN members who've fallen
on the front lines of Covid-19
