CJC

I am float pool. We have all been canceled these past 2 weeks. No one has worked due to low census. The last time I worked was 3/19. We are not getting paid PTO or time off since we are not benefited employees. I have applied for unemployment. Yes we have not been laid off or let go but we have not worked or had any income since low census, so we have been effected due to the Corona Virus. We were told that are company is planning to let go of travelers. I think we as Float pool will be let go second if census doesn't pick up. In the mean time I will continue to File unemployment every Sunday till I get hours at work.

Same here in Phoenix, low census, I'm also PRN so we are being put on standby and canceled. I think this is the calm before the storm. I hope we will have the proper PPE and Policies in place in two weeks when we get sick patients coming in.

We are able to use face mask only if we bring them from home, like self made mask. We cant wear them in patients room.

I am also PRN float in ICU, we have been put on standby alos due to low census. Honestly I am relieved to be off. I believe in weeks things are going to be crazy. Hopefully by then they have the proper PPE protocol in order. Most of all hopefully they have the PPE we need. Like when was it OK to reuse N95 masks? We have been allowed to wear mask as long as we bring them from home, the house made ones, We can not use them in patients room.
