what being a nurse during covid-19 feels like...
i’m literally so scared of going to work. what is going to happen if one of the residents gets tested for covid-19 and the results come back positive? what is going to happen if the staff catches covid-19? we already work 7 hours a day, 12 days in a row, 2 days as a break. if this whole thing gets worse we’ll have to work 12 hours a day STILL for 12 days in a row. there’s been a change in the law, we’re not allowed to be quarantined for 14 days, we’ll have to come back to work after just 7 days, if we catch covid-19 we’ll still have to work as long as we don’t show symptoms like a fever (we don’t have ffp3 masks by the way, just normal face masks because people that literally don’t need them got themselves unbelievable amounts to hoard) and last but not least if we’re extremely understaffed it’s legal. it’ll be legal that maybe just two nurses will have to care for 80 residents in the same way we would usually do with full staff (7-9 nurses per shift). my life consists of constant panic right now, we cry at work because we can’t handle what’s going on right now, we don’t get to take a break and it’s just getting worse, crisis is reaching its peak and we have no way out.

I didn’t think I would end up posting something that felt personal, let alone think I would end up being in the icu with covid patients. Completing icu training almost a month early due to staffing needs and being put into a covid unit for an indefinite period of time had me in sheer panic. I wondered, do other nurses feel this anxious? Are other nurses not sleeping? I learned it was ok to breakdown, it’s ok to cry, it’s ok to feel emotions. As nurses, we’ve all seen death and a lot of unthinkable things, but this pandemic brought out emotions I didn’t expect. I took a step back and realized the more you try to escape negative emotions, the more you will empower them. We try to be so strong for everyone else, but we have to take care of ourselves first. I’ve been trying to shift my mindset and think of all the things I’m grateful for. So grateful for this job and the icu team. Lucky to be surrounded by supportive friends and family💕 #wegotthis #flattenthecurve @taylorswift @taylornation
