“Very sad commentary by the pediatric doctor. A lot of “doing the best we can” as justification for putting nurses in unsafe conditions-reusing masks and gowns, (used to be against OSHA rules and could be grounds for getting fired.) While doctors didn’t round in patient rooms, they didn’t see a problem with having the nurses stay in the rooms for hours-until the nurses complained. Plus, wonder if administrators are thinking about the potential legal implications of the situations in which they are placing the nurses. Didn’t anyone wonder why nurses were contracting Covid even though using PPE (maybe because the PPE was being reused?) As a pediatric nurse, I find it hard to understand why the pediatric nurses are expected to take care of adults, but wonder how med-surg nurses feel if they would be expected to take care of pediatric or NICU patients. Would adult doctors be ok working in a NICU?”
