The nurse perspective on how we are not prepared in hospitals for ebola

[Rose]

This is a great article quoting health care professionals in the field and the reality vs what we clearly see happening in Dallas. There will be many lessons learned from this outbreak, it has cost too many healthcare worker lives already.

I am not a RN, but work in Engineering in a 400 bed trauma hospital in Northern California. Today we got all of the protocols for all departments in case we receive an Ebola patient. We have had a few tested here and all came back negative. I, personally will quit my job and retire rather than be subjected to this. I am sorry this happened, but I think Texas was the best place for this to be handled. California would have really been lax, IMO. We are stretched too thin and very short staffed. Many lessons are going to be learned from this mistake. This is not the last of this, either...
