2- ALL 3 RNs called off.2 sought tx.None were tested for flu.COVID19 TESTING DENIED.In 48hrs all 3 worsened in condition and the 20 yr old asthmatic dtr of one developed symptoms
2 weeks later.The 20 yr old has improved, all 3 report high fatigue, dyspnea, headaches.The 49 yr old prn ICU was terminated for calling off.The 65 yr old was written up.All 3 met last might to review
With a combined experience of 100 yrs, they agreed this illness was different.It hit fast and hard.
RNs normally have strong constitutions and after yrs and flu shots don't suffer the s/s of others.
