    savedbygrace67 replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

  3. Considering Quitting my Job

    savedbygrace67 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why give 4 weeks notice? You are increasing your chances substantially of getting sick! If I were you, I would get out now! Actually, quitting is quitting. You can give some notice if you want, but...

  6. Considering Quitting my Job

    20% of nurses taking care of covid19 patients in New York are sick. Your idea for "good enough practices" to reuse masks is really not good

    I don't support medicare for all so unable to sign but am in perfect agreement with nurses being protected. It's unfortunate that you are aligning your political position with the dire need for PPE...

  12. Infected staff

    savedbygrace67 replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seems like hospitals are always making demands that nurses show up no matter what and show their lack of appreciation by making them pay for trying to save their own

    Thank you for your post! It's good to see someone verbalizing the ongoing & inexcusable lack of supplies that medical personnel need right

  14. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    savedbygrace67 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What about applying for something different or a transfer? Phone nurse? I bet they are needed right now. Even home health might be better than in a hospital which is basically one big petri

    I was already working PRN so I didn't have as much of a commitment. My director was very nice about it. I could have probably asked for a leave of some kind, but wasn't sure if they would go for...

    savedbygrace67 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Totally agree! I am of retirement age, working part time, so I resigned after 14 years! No masks, no tests, lots of flu & patients with flu symptoms that are negative for flu. Nope. Not doing

  18. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    savedbygrace67 replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's amazing how many nurses here have such a defeatist attitude that we shouldn't ask for extra pay for putting our lives on the line. How dare we?? That's why conditions for nurses never get better....

    Ridiculous comment! OF COURSE, we are deserving of hazard pay! Sending a nurse into a patient's room with no adequate PPE is like sending a soldier onto the front lines with no
