Any new thread title suggestions?
A good friend of mine has covid. Caught it on the wards in st vincents. She's in her 2nd year of nursing and there on placement and is devastated. She has been working evening and weekend shifts in a nursing home when she isn't on placement too. I am furious that this excuse of a nurse got it before someone who is being exposed at all angles.
Em she’s not suppose to be working anywhere else ! Does her ward on James’s know this ?
Unfortunately that’s the reality of not paying student nurses.. they need to continue working in their other jobs to survive.. some hospitals requested that students give up other jobs to prevent spread of infection between services but I’m not sure if all did this / or if they could actually force students to give up jobs. The government needs to pay all healthcare students if they are required to give up their other job to do placement (as this was not a condition of their course when they began).
As I said , when she isn't on placement ina. Hospital she has a job in a care home. when she is on placement she has to go on PUP and isn't allowed work. This is allowedEm she’s not suppose to be working anywhere else ! Does her ward on James’s know this ?
Clarified in another response. She has a job in a home when it's during online classes etc. When she has to go to placement she essentially has to quit her job in the home and work for the hospital.Thank you!! I thought it was just me! Does the nursing home know? Like surely it’s a massive risk to the residents having someone going from a hospital ward to a nursing home and that can’t be allowed

I did say that in my original post that she works in the home when not on placement. She has to go do 2 weeks isolating and pcr test before going into the hospital after working in the home too so I assure you she's being unbelievably safe. Even when cases dropped last summer she didn't do or go anywhere, she's shielded herself for close on a year now. While Terrie had the time of her life out on the town and still got her vaccineOh right that’s a different story it read like she was going from the wards to the nursing homes and back again each week which seemed like a huge risk to be taking. Totally different if they’re weeks apart
Can someone make a new thread before it’s locked. Or explain it and I’ll do it?
