Who is Nurse Erin?

Nurse Erin isn't just a name; she's a story of unwavering commitment, immense heart, and raw courage. Think back to a spirited 17-year-old, eyes wide with dreams and ambitions, only to soon march in the U.S. Army's camo through the perilous landscapes of Iraq in 2003. To Erin, it wasn’t about ticking off a duty; it was an all-consuming calling. And when she returned, she didn't seek the spotlight. Rather, her compassionate heart guided her to where she was needed the most — from battlefronts to bedsides, offering solace and care to her fellow Americans.

​

2020, a year of global uncertainty, saw Erin answering a desperate call once again. Leaving behind the comfort of sunny Florida, she made her way to where the pandemic was hitting the hardest — Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, NY, ominously dubbed "The Epicenter of the Epicenter." While TV screens flashed unsettling images of freezer trucks, Erin was deep within the belly of Elmhurst, witnessing the untelevised, shadowy tales unfolding behind its locked doors.

​

But here's what sets Erin apart: her fearless heart and an unyielding quest for truth. What she saw inside Elmhurst — the untold atrocities, the needless deaths, the hidden stories the world deserved to know — lit a fire in her. She made a bold, perhaps unthinkable choice: she went undercover, discreetly recording the chilling realities that mainstream news would never touch upon. It wasn’t a bid for fame; it was a cry for change, a demand for transparency, and above all, an act of defiance against needless suffering.

​

On June 9, 2020, those hushed and concealed tragedies of Elmhurst were unveiled to the world. Through 'Perspectives of the Pandemic', Erin gave a voice to the voiceless, shedding light on a side of the pandemic that was as real as it was heartbreaking. It was a narrative not of statistics, but of souls, of lives lost and battles fought behind closed doors.

​

If you ever sat down with Erin, she’d talk not as a crusader, but as someone who's seen too much and can't stay silent. She’d share about her aspirations for a healthcare system that's transparent, compassionate, and just. Proudly, she'd speak of 2021 when, alongside fellow U.S. Army comrades, she co-founded 'America’s Clinic', not as a commercial venture but as a sanctuary of hope and healing.

​

Venturing into her book, "Undercover Epicenter Nurse", you’d be introduced not just to shocking revelations but to the depth of Erin's spirit. Her words guide readers through the grim corridors of Elmhurst, underlining every tough decision and her undying pledge to truth and humane care.

​

In Erin's journey, you don’t just encounter a nurse or a soldier; you meet a beacon of hope, an ally, and a relentless advocate who, against all odds, champions the unseen, unheard, and unspoken.
