Any nurses or patient care technicians on here that works in a hospital!?

Question

If so...what type of protection do they have you all wearing!? I just got hired at a hospital in Dallas and I'm wondering if they'll have me fully covered so I do not come in contact with the coronavirus.

Answer

I work in a nursing home, so not the same, but we are wearing goggles and a mask at all times. If we go into anyones room that has symptoms or is in quarantine we wear a mask, face shield, gown and gloves.

Answer

I work as an NP in the hospital. I bring my scrubs to work, change there. While at work I wear a mask at all times unless I’m eating/drinking. I wear goggles with every patient interaction. N95 in the ED/ICU/OR. I try not to be present for any aerosolizing procedures. I wash my hands/sanitize frequently. I wipe down every computer station I work at. Before I leave work I change out of my scrubs and put them in a plastic bag to wash on hot at home. I sanitize my phones, badge, anything that leaves the hospital with me. When I get home I shower Immediately. If you have any questions, just let me know. I’m 26+2 and still working.
