I’m a critical care registered nurse. I just got off my shift where I worked 13 hours straight with no break. I didn’t even have time to use the restroom. When I got there we stood in line to get our temps checked, answer screening questions and get our assignments.
We usually only take 2 patients because our patients are the sickest and are fighting for their lives. Last night I had to take 3 very ill patients because my co workers were assigned patients diagnosed with #COVID19. We were issued mask that don’t protect us from the virus.
The look on our charge nurse’s face was that of extreme sadness and guilt. She knew just like we did that if another patient came up (there is a constant flow) we would be exposed and that thin yellow mask wouldn’t protect us. I took the mask. Something is better than nothing.
