Yeah I’m an or nurse and the the thought of being repurposed elsewhere is terrifying because I have no experience outside of the or it would be like asking an icu nurse to come to the or different worlds and different skill sets, but no matter what I will do my best and we will defeat this scourge together!

My wife is a nurse practitioner in a cardiology clinic. She volunteered to test people in nw arkansas for Corona. So far no problems!

Some nurses are “drama queens”.We once had a full-blown AIDS patient in our ICU,some of the nurses were having meltdowns at the thought of having to care for him.I volunteered to take him to stop all the “drama”.Completely illogical,all it was universal precautions just like any other potentially contagious disease.

Its the ER Nurses that should worry IMO (if you are going to worry). ERs have probably turned into clinics by this point.
Wife is an ER nurse. Normally, ERs are always clinics. Now they’re actually seeing lower wait times for the patients who need emergency care.
Her last shift, she said that 75% of patients coming in were cough, fever, shortness of breath and negative flu test results.
ER nurses at her hospital are head to toe in safety gear and wearing face shields now.
If your wife is being asked to move from surgery to ICU, she’ll probably do fine as long as she’s extremely detail-oriented.
Like someone else said, they’re just reallocating where nurses are needed.
