So it turns out this video is entirely fraudulent. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1246804028601896961?s=20
Yet CBS had a producer add music, captions, etc to it without even vetting this fraud. Good job guys.
Took internet sleuths about 5 minutes to obliterate her credibility.

So she had been on the job for a day or two, after taking a year off to pursue something resembling an Instagram model career, and she "quit" because of the conditions. Deliberate misrepresentation of her career means you cannot take her other statements at face value.
Ok turns out I was too friendly about the timeline. The lady quit on her first day back on the job. https://twitter.com/nurseiv4/status/1243139317037400064?s=20
Crisis actor 101 type stuff. Right out of the Jussie playbook. She is indeed a nurse, albeit one who hasn't been on the job much. Everything else is lies, exaggerations, and unproven statements.
Already backtracking

Initial story:
1) Mask supply empty
2) Not allowed to wear masks around any1 even COVID patient.

New story:
1) Actually, we did have masks and they were provided & required when treating COVID cases.

A bit of a key difference, no?

Bottom line: Hospital did have adequate supply of PPE & masks & was taking proper precautions, while making prudent decision not to blow through supplies. She shows up, 1st day on job, wants to break protocol & do her own thing. They say no. She quits & goes full crisis actor.
CBS team meeting:

"So how long has she been there?"

"Well, boss, she showed up in AM for 1st day & quit immediately when managers didn't let her do her own thing"

"Perfect. She's an inspiration. This will get Trump, I mean, inform USA! Perfect credibility. Beacon of truth!"
Just clarifying here: There are several issues w medical supplies, particularly in hotspots. Point of this thread was to expose a fraud. It is not to undermine arguments that medical professionals need more PPE, masks, etc. We all want the best for all of you on the front lines.
Update: The nurse behind the hoax video has deleted her Twitter account and has locked her Instagram. Additionally, CBS has issued a so-called clarification: https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1247268250926428160?s=20
