I spoke with a friend that has a daughter working in a hospital lab. They are not being furnished gloves, respirators, or face shields. I have a feeling those working there will find reasons not to go to work. Their absence will have a profound effect on the hospital.
That's bullshit! As a nurse you can't be turned in for abandonment if you quit your job! And if you asked to enter a quarentined room without PPE its a OSHA violation.
My son works at a hospital that has the same rule for their nurses. Luckily, as a nurse practitioner, he doesn't work for the hospital.
From my understanding, the worker is a pharmacist tech, and processes samples. Regardless, according to OSHA, PPE is required to be furnished by the employer, so I took the info as suspect. Still, if that is what is happening, the final result will not be good.
