In the midst of a pandemic, Nathaniel - a current emergency room technician and EMT, and Tara - a recent graduate of James Madison Univeristy (go dukes!) began an accelerated nursing program at Moravian University in August 2020. Unbeknownst to each other for nearly 5 months, Nathaniel and Tara met in their 3rd nursing clinical in January 2021 and quickly became friends after Nathaniel invited Tara to eat lunch with him in the St. Luke's Allentown cafeteria... how romantic. Staying friends for a few months, Nathaniel asked if he could make Tara a pasta dinner in late May. Tara, believing this was just a friendly hangout, said yes. Long story short, the dinner was amazing... and the rest was history! They graduated nursing school together in December 2021 and began their nursing careers at Lehigh Valley Health Network and have supported each other in their endeavors.
