Health care workers hold a special place in my heart. These three Valley Nurses, angels on a plane, deserve our admiration.

When a fellow passenger lost consciousness 15 minutes into a flight to Toronto, three Nova Scotia Health nurses from Kentville’s Valley Regional Hospital, Abbie Loughran, Abby Dauphinee and Karlee McGuigan, sprang into action.

Working in tight quarters with no tourniquet or medical tape, they relied on pure nursing ingenuity (including improvising with a hand-made tourniquet and duct tape) to start an IV, monitor vitals and keep the passenger stable until landing.

Once paramedics took over in Ontario, the trio, bound for bachelorette festivities in Toronto, returned to their regularly scheduled fun-filled programming.
