Covid Exposure to Nurses and Patients

1

This hospital is purposely putting their nurses and patients at risk. Patients are coming in, testing positive and the hospital is NOT taking precautions enough to protect the staff or their patients! They are not giving N95 Masks to all nurses. They are literally requiring nurses to come in and work, even when their immediate family members are positive with Covid if they are required to come to work if they are not "showing" symptoms. The hospital IS NOT providing Rapid tests for these staff members which means they could be carrying. It has been proven in studies regular masks DO NOT completely prevent the spread of this virus! They cannot get travel nurses due to their low pay rates. They have even taken away pay from staff with the buy out by Bon Secor DURING the pandemic. These people are putting their lives on the line every single day willingly, hospitals should be under a mandate to ensure the well being and safety to every extent possible of their staff. They should be required to provide the PROPER approved PPE for ALL staff EVERY shift! They are currently offering $35 EXTRA an hour for employees to work an extra 12 hour shift during the holidays because they are so short staffed. There is not HR on site, it is through a 800 number only. This hospital has always been a small hospital with not the best resources. It is however inhumane how they are risking the staff members and the families of staff members with their current policies. They need to be held to a higher standard with protection for ALL!!!
