Easter is a time of Renewal, Joy, Rebirth and Pardon. This year should be no different from other years. We are living in unprecedented time with this Covid 19 that plagues us globally. We are baffled by this invisible disease. Yet, I am convinced this shall pass as well. We must profess Our Faith and do better hand washing to eradicate this virus. These two tools shall be done in unison by all of us as healthcare workers as myself and non healthcare deliverers as well. What is promising and wonderful is all whom I meet while delivering care at my present employer is their dedication from paramedic, cna,nurses, and doctors are totally selfless in caring for the afflicted. I also see the same passion through our charge nurses, managers, directors, CNO and CEO working in cohesion to control this monstrous viral spread by following CDC recommendation. Although, we have currently restricted PPE’s supplies, we are still able to carry out our duties with proper gears. We do not have abundant PPE’s supplies. We do have available supplies to carry duties safely. I find emotional support while working at my current facility. Everyone has a responsibility to curve the spread of the Corona virus. AACN has free videos to assist the front line workers how to care best for our pts. as well as protecting ourselves, our love ones, and our communities. We the front lines of defense tend to neglect ourselves, thinking only of those who need us.
Schools, Churches, and Businesses are doing their parts as well. Let us continue to take care of our pts. without forgetting to take care of ourselves. I, myself is a culprit of taking care of everyone else and neglecting myself. Thus, let us help ourselves, our colleagues, our pts,our communities combat this germ together. Martine, the Humanitarian.
