AutumnLeaves

I would LOVE that job!

I understand 100%. Be well.

At the hospital that I am leaving, they give a rock to someone every month and call it "the rock solid award". Have done so for years. It's the same rock, it just gets passed back and forth.

Also check with local pharmacies and department of health-ours here is hiring people for PRN.

Got my second Moderna vaccine Friday,so now @about 83 hrs. I did have some mild fluish symptoms with moderate leg pain,mostly at night.It was less than I expected.

I got the Moderna vaccine on Monday @ 0800. My arm was a little tender after a couple of hours,so I took some Ibuprofen.Worked all day. By evening,my arm was swollen and painful.I felt as if I had chills and a headache all evening but no fever. Yesterday, I still felt mildly headachy and I woke up this am with a sore throat. Our weather just got very wet and cold,so sore throat may be from that. All in all, this was lots easier than the Hepatitis vaccine.I am due to be off on 1/25 when I am scheduled for my second shot. I will go in and get it.Probably will plan on hanging around at work, since I live alone.Will be interested in hearing others accounts of second shot.

Thank you very much.Stay safe!

We have a hospital policy that actually states no jeans or shorts when in building. That includes ANY trip into the hospital.

I have sent emails to all my state reps, the Governor and the President.I also contacted all of the local city councilors and the mayor. The only response I got was from the mayor.

We are also testing all surgical patients and finding a lot of positives. However, we still aren't allowed to wear face shields or N95s unless the pt. is positive. We still wear a paper mask for a week @ a time.

We lost a coworker to COVID over the weekend. I am so angry that I could scream.

I also work for a govt. hospital and our union is useless. They don't help us with pay, staffing or PPE.

That is what we are supposed to do where I work. We get one paper surgical mask a week and are only to use the N95 for aerolizing treatments/procedures. I know that some nurses wear the N95 under the paper masks in the ICU,but they have been getting into trouble for it. Our union has picketed but it does no good.

I have now been voluntarily isolated from my friends since early March.My family live in other states and I haven't seen them in months. I am 63,work FT and am exposed to COVID 19 patients. I decided in March that I wasn't comfortable exposing my friends,most of whom are older than I and some have chronic conditions. So back to now. I have been musing on when it will be safe to see anyone, even at 6 feet and with masks. I have decided that it's too soon for me. Our state is opening up and I fully expect an influx of cases.I can't advise others as what to do, this is just my humble opinion.
