Kit Bredimus has yet to mark a year as Chief Nursing Officer at Midland Memorial Hospital, but when he does, he will look back on it as arguably his most challenging.
A fire on the hospital’s roof. A shooting spree spanning two Permian Basin cities. And of course, the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It’s definitely been a learning curve and a steep learning curve," Bredimus, who graduated from nearby Midland High, told NewsWest9.
Bredimus said his nursing experience prepped him for the current public health emergency ravaging the world.
“This pandemic has really highlighted the fact that nurses are the jack of all trades,” he told the station. “We become whatever the situation calls for.”
It was Bredimus’s dream to become a nurse, a profession he said that is both an art and a science.
“On one hand you have the very technical, detail-oriented side, and then you have the human side,” the married father of four told NewsWest9.
