Hello,So, I applied to a hospital for complex care unit few months back, 6 month full time contract. They called me today, we did a phone interview, not even in person interview and got email for reference checks. I don’t know what to do. I want to work as I feel like this is the only opportunity I will have to get a job but I am scared due to covid. I am currently living with my parents and I hate to be the one that contracts it to them. What do you guys suggest? What would you do? 1 Likes

I regularly check my temp and am watchful for symptoms. Not every nurse gets it. I’ve been on strictly COVID for 5 weeks now. I’m fine. 2 Likes
Nunya, BSN Specializes in NICU/Mother-Baby/Peds/Mgmt. Has 39 years experience. Apr 17, 2020 Can you self isolate in your home? Stay in your bedroom/ bathroom when you're at home? It wouldn't be fun but if you're that concerned..... Just until you have enough money to move out... Edited Apr 17, 2020 by Elaine M 1 Likes
Toaster2k18 Apr 17, 2020 Thank you for the replies. I live in an apartment so I do not have a garage, though alternative option would be to leave everything in the facility. We live in small apartment so I can't really self isolate at home. After talking with my family as well, I emailed them today that I will withdrawing from the position due to personal circumstances. Thanks again for all your input. Edited Apr 17, 2020 by Toaster2k18 0 Likes
