Nurse Quits After Hospital Refused To Give Protective Mask

We reported earlier this week that a nurse quit her job after being asked to care for Coronavirus patients. The nurse quit her job on Instagram Live and another nurse just did the same for, for different reasons though.

According to reports, a nurse on the front lines of the Coronavirus battle in Chicago was forced to quit her job yesterday.

The nurse, who goes by the handle Nurse.iv on Instagram, posted a teary eyed message to her family and friends yesterday on the social media platform. According to her, the hospital where she worked was refusing to give masks to nurses, even ones who were working with coronavirus patients.

She explained, “I went in to work, and I was assigned to a Covid [19] patient, inside a dedicated Covid [19] unit [at the hospital].” She added, “None of the nurses in the unit are wearing masks, not even surgical masks.”

So the nurse decided to use her own mask, for protection. She explained, “I had my own m95, I told my manager – I know we’re short on supplies but let me protect myself.” let me feel safe, I have family that I have to come home to. And the way things are looking this isn’t getting any better , Americans are not prepared and our nurses are not being protected.”

The nurse was then told to remove her mask. But she decided to quit her job instead. Watch the video below :
