Abstract
Nursing during a pandemic like COVID-19 is challenging, because of pervasive uncertainty, fear, lack of knowledge about the virus and its manifestations, and caring for complicated patients without adequate personal protective equipment and other needed resources. Many suffer from moral distress as a result of their inability to do what they think is right for their patients. Herein is a description of moral distress during COVID, what causes it, and what can be done to promote the mental, physical, and moral well-being of invaluable nurses.
