Nurses on the front line of the coronavirus outbreak are afraid their safety.
Some nurses described a disconnect between Cuomo’s comments at daily news briefings and what some hospitals are demanding of workers.
“They keep lowering the guidelines as we fall sicker and sicker. I’m afraid we’re going to lose some of our colleagues,” Raymond said.connected to COVID-19 related shortages, deviating from long-held infection control standards. The quarantine strategy for medical workers was last updated on March 16, records show.
Michele Brailsford-Paul, a home care nurse for Montefiore, said she recently filed a complaint with federal worker safety regulators in Tarrytown about the shortages in protective equipment. Westchester Medical Center Health Network officials disputed that nurses have limited access to N95 masks and asserted the health system with 10 hospitals across the region is following CDC guidelines.
“What they’re telling us to do is not based on the science of the virus; it’s based on what is available for any given day,” Boyts said. Hospital officials, in many ways, have been tasked with finding the balance between implementing the new CDC guidelines for stretching protective equipment supplies and worker safety.
“A lot of it is there is so much anxiety about this because we’re dealing with a totally new phenomenon and trying to take the best practices we’ve built with other diseases and apply them here, but we’re also learning on the fly,” he said.
