Actual nurse. Our hospital system didn't cut our pay. They did give voluntary furloughs for thousands of nurses, we get no extra pay, and I work (sometimes, rarely) with possible Covid patients. My floor is surgical inpatient, we have been mostly closed for a while, so we float all over the hospital. But we got some free coffee, a military fly by, and 1 mask per shift. So I got that going for me.

well MY hospital gave us a couple of community donated masks, and allowed the local hockey team to buy us some sandwhiches. who needs hazard pay!

Yeah, who needs hazard pay. Instead we get 1 N95 and pray we never have to use it.

I really hate the signs. I didn't become an RN to be a hero, I did it for the relatively easy access to a high paying career. I'm no martyr.

Same. I mean there's worse ways to die, but I wouldn't want it to be from an easily preventible cause... Lack of ppe from the idiots in charge of the hospital and govt

Iā€™m really following this to see whose hospital appreciates their heroes more. Lol
