Read on Twitter
They have us reusing personal protective equipment that have been exposed to COVID-19 and wearing garbage bags as gowns. The Joint Commission clearly does not give one fuck about healthcare workers or our families. Paying us $100/hr doesn’t fucking help if we’re dead.
So many nurses have died and so many nurses have started writing their wills. They are also firing nurses who are speaking out about the lack of personal protective equipment that we are being given.
Also, Nurses who have tested positive for COVID-19, but are showing no symptoms, are being forced/encouraged to come to work anyway. Which is defeating the fucking purpose of quarantining
They are not protecting us. They don’t fucking care
I’m so fucking tired of hearing, “This is what you signed up for.” Bitch we did NOT take a fucking oath at pinning saying that we will take care of the sick without protecting ourselves. We have families and this shit isn’t fucking right
Oh and they’ve also been sending out emergency alerts. Recruiting people who have never worked the floor in their fucking life
And they are actively firing these nurses that they need so very much. I thought we were the richest country in the world??? Lmao. Baby, a lawsuit is definitely fucking coming & you can bet like hell that I’m getting in on that!
THEY ARE ALSO GETTING STUDENT NURSES WHO HAVE NOT PASSED THEIR LICENSURE TEST OUT HERE ON THE FLOOR RISKING THEIR FUCKING LIVES
They want us to be quiet, but we will not
THIS IS FUCKING HEARTBREAKING!!!!!
NURSES, CNAS, PHYSICIANS, PHYSICAL THERAPY, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, BIOMED, HOUSEKEEPING, X-RAY, RESPIRATORY THERAPIST!!!!! WE ARE NOT BEING PROTECTED AND WE ARE HAVING TO WRITE FUCKING WILLS!!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY!!!
Would you let a fireman go into a burning building unequipped??? NO! After 9/11, over 10,000 workers sued New York City for health damages & they won. Imagine how hard we are about to bang bitch! Part of the reason I came back to Twitter this week is to share our voice.
I’ll be damned. I was a dialysis nurse for 2 years and there is TONS of blood involved daily. You HAVE to wear proper PPE & I’ll be damned if I risk my life. I love taking care of patients. I love helping heal the sick. But I haven’t even met my nephew yet.
Look at my angel. I have never met my nephew. I can’t even visit him because people won’t stay in the fucking house!
My cousin died this morning. She wasn’t protected at work. Healthy and beautiful.
It’s not a game. It’s fucking ridiculous https://twitter.com/racheljulie/status/1245114069339852802
Will I show up at orientation Monday for my dream job??? Idk.
My husband offered me to stay at home while he works so I won’t get sick while working on the frontlines of the pandemic. I really really really love & appreciate this man, but I’m going to at least try. I love him so much. I’m extremely thankful.
