Considering this area...any fresh input? Wages? Good hospitals to work for in this area? I have one year of nursing experience in the ICU. SLO? Paso Robles? Surrounding areas? Thanks!

You stay safe too. If it gets too bad or you feel like your son is at risk, don’t let people shame you into staying there. I have seen nurses post stuff about how it’s wrong to leave..but you know what..your family is first. So you do whatever you feel is right and don’t feel bad about either choice

I’m so sorry you are having to deal with that. I think it’s wrong. I don’t understand how this is happening. Everyone wants it to be fair... we’ll life isn’t fair. A person with bad asthma should not be assigned to a covid unit. It makes me so angry because where I work, they assign our a nurse in her early 70s to covid..really!?

I’m sorry but I have a family and becoming a nurse does not mean that I surrender my responsibility to them. No N95 and I won’t go in a covid room. If that makes me a bad nurse then so be it. I love my job but I love my husband, kids and parents more. Also, exposing myself to a covid patient without a mask and then caring for non covid patients who need care just as much does nothing but make the problem worse.
