I start my first shift with an ICU unit tomorrow.

[Texasgal]

I am a surgical nurse for a non life threatening surgical center currently. Our city has been asked for RN's to come help. I used to work in triage although it's been many years.

I start tomorrow! Wish me luck!

19. Big DU thoughts and virtual hugs, TexasGal.

Don't allow yourself to be rushed and make a mistake. That's my concern here, since it's easy to get complacent and handle something from outside without cleaning that's easy to overlook.

Since I'm just talking about a simple home in isolation, I can't imagine the challenges in a public hospital or any public facility for that matter.

We wish you the best of luck and please keep us posted on your experiences. Your sharing might help some here be more conscientious!

And now I'm tearing up again. I'd say "keep well" or "stay well" or "take care" the way I do to all these days, but it's so terribly inadequate in your case.

Stay well.
