From a nurse in a hospital
Pease take this very seriously:
Did you wake up & cry because you have to stay home another day?
I woke up & cried because it was my turn to float to the positive floor.
Are you "bored"?
Come hang out with me for 5 minutes.. I promise you'll be so scared, you'll forget you were ever bored.
Do you miss your friends?
Imagine how much more you would miss them if you were isolated and alone in a hospital bed.
Imagine wearing masks so tight to your face that it hurts after hour one but you still have twelve more to work.
Imagine not being able to have a drink of water because you can't take your mask off because they only give you one.
Imagine being so scared to walk into a room only to find out the patient is just as scared as you are.
Imagine moving out from your home, to protect your loved ones so you can keep going to work only to take care of complete strangers.
Imagine crying your eyes out and having a panic attack at work because everything and everyone is so uncertain.
Then imagine getting an email from the big bosses saying not only are you NOT getting hazard pay but now you're also no longer getting the bonus that you've been getting for 2+ years for OT shifts.
Hows your Monday?
Stay the F home.
