Thank you LS. While most of the world is taking a break right now (whether willingly or not), if we call in at the hospital we have to have a doctors note before we can return to work. Also, if anyone refuses to care for a patient, our licenses will be turned into the State Board...it’s kind of tense at work at times but we are thankful for our jobs and the opportunity to work and help in time of need...

hello Lara .waving just wondering who you regulatory body is ??? I have not heard of any legal enforcement for health professionals . .


Hi Blondey111 waving

It’s not the regulatory body that made this decision, but the hospital I am employed at. People were refusing to go into certain patients rooms and so this was what was reiterated to us from the top down.
can I suggest you speak to your union .. hospitals can not enforce such a standard . They have an obligation to keep all staff safe and ensure a safe working environment .

Any staff who has an increased risk factor such as age over 6O, immune compromised or with any health concern that puts them at Increased risk should be exempt from caring for covid patients .

Legally ..... All healthworkers have always had the right to put their own safety first In situations of danger/risk ... that has not changed . There should be no threats or coercion of any staff .

I would allocate them to the frontline.
I would use their salary to ensure frontline staff have the best possible quality respirators available pitchfork

something I dont understand yet...
is why are all the nursing homes getting it ... guess being brought in by family and friends or if the healthcare providers have it ... these are dangerous places to visit and they have stopped most visiting... now I heard a VA hospital has it ... did not hear where yet ... an really thanks for all the helpers with this pandemic ... from the professionals down to the national gourd handing out food & water to those in need ...

Another good idea. Hospitals and nursing homes are on the brink, every help is needed.
