How Three International Nurses Made a Home in Decatur, Illinois

This documentary was filmed in January 2020, before the COVID-19 Pandemic, which changed the requirements for PPE in hospitals.
Small towns and cities in the U.S. may differ from where you'd expect a thriving community of international nurses. But that's exactly what you'll find at Decatur Memorial Hospital in Decatur, Illinois. Shearwater Health partnered with DMH a few years ago to create a new home for over 70 international nurses. This community of nurses has significantly impacted their workplace, colleagues, community, and family.
During a cold winter week in January 2020, the Shearwater team spent time documenting the lives of three of these nurses to give us a glimpse into what life looks like for an international nurse in the U.S.
