This nurse opened up about her ‘worst shift’ yet, exposing the heartbreaking reality of health care workers fighting the pandemic
She posted the video on instagram and said :
’Today was by far the worst shape I’ve ever had. This video was taken after laying in my hotel floor for an hour crying. I think it’s important for ppl to see what we go threw when we get home. *******Update ******After 4-5hrs sleep We’re walking 8-11 miles in a 13-15hrs shift. 5–7 days a week. Only 2 water breaks. The Majority of our PPE is made out of plastic like wearing a sweat suit all day. Assignments of 10-16 patients per nurse. No help! ******This is completely unedited. And taken after the “worst shift” I’ve had since being here. Venting was actually cathartic for me. I only posted it because I feel like people should know what we’re going through here. I love my job I LOVE ❤️ what I do! I’m not LEAVING! But that doesn’t mean frontliners aren’t human and wont be emotions about this experience as well
