breh, you a RRT. How are you keeping safe ?
Personally I'm good. I've always been OD when it comes to protecting myself with handwashing, PPE, etc but my hospital has changed significantly. Everyone entering the hospital MUST be checked for a fever, every patient is allowed only ONE visitor and that visitor has to be 18 and older. Unless your an employee you cannot leave the hospital and come back after 8PM until 8AM.
One of the ICUs I used to work has been converted to a covid 19 unit. I think they have two-three patients in there.
If a patient is droplet precaution instead of the mask being on the door you have to check one out from the unit secretary. Apparently some employees have been taking some home and have gotten fired for it. I don't know if it's true or not about the firing.
Surprisingly though our census is actually down. I figured people are not coming in unless they have flu like symptoms which is good.
My manager is trying to get me to go to a special facility that will only treat covid patients if the pandemic gets worse. It's essentially $50 an hour when you add shift differentials and shyt. I'm hoping it doesn't get that bad but if necessary I might sign up for it. I don't need the money but it would be nice to have.
