I noted that this topic hasn't been addressed in a discussion yet, and it's hung heavy on my mind the past few days. I'm a PACU RN who is currently working night shift in PCU due to staffing needs during this crisis. It was declared at my job this afternoon that PCU would be deemed the COVID floor. Similar to other hospitals, my hospital is not handling PPE properly, and staff is being put at risk each shift. I love my job, and while I'm not so concerned about myself at this time, I have a high-risk family member living with me. More specifically, my mother. She suffered a heart attack and brain anuersym a few years ago, which has left her unable to safely live alone. This past year she was diagnosed with early stage dementia. To put it simply, she is not in good health and I'm terrified I'm going to bring this home to her. I'm coming to terms with the fact that at some point, as things steadily decline, I'm going to have to leave my job. My question is this, what remote RN options are available currently? I've applied at multiple insurance companies for telephonic or case manager positions, but at this time that is all I've found. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm preparing to, I've been looking at my options as far as remote positions go. It's such a tough choice, but the way my hospital is handling things right now isn't acceptable. I'm not concerned for myself, but I don't want to bring this home to my family when one of them is already high risk.

With elective surgeries discontinued, I found out last week on Friday I was going onto night shift PCU indefinitely. I have no control over my schedule, I'm told a couple days prior to the following week what nights I'm working. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have a job, but I'm upset they didn't feel the need to discuss any of this with me prior. Today they worded it as a question as to whether I could work certain days next week, when I said I couldn't work one of the days, I was told the CNO states I have to cover those exact days, or I can basically kick rocks. N95 masks are being reused indefinitely. Since I worked PACU I hadn't been sized, so I was given a one size fits all mask. We aren't sanitizing them. The plan is to throw them in a paper bag, and put them somewhere safe so we can use them again during the next shift.
