Episode 63: Update From the COVID-19 Nursing Frontline

Nurses make an amazing impact in patient care and they have been on the front-lines caring for #COVID-19 patients. However, they have not always been provided with what they need in terms of education and PPEs. Moreover, nurses have been told not to speak to media orb they might risk losing their jobs. I was fortunate to host two nurses on this product; both requested to be anonymous. One is from Chicago and the other is from California. They joined me to discuss when their institutions began preparing for an influx of COVID-19 patients, conflicting information from their institutions regarding PPE supplies, ease of complying with CDC/WHO guidelines for sanitizing used PPEs, and more.
