My mom broke down today. There were over 80 patients in the ER last night, understaffed, and today she had to hear family tell her COVID isn’t real and that feeling burnout makes you a terrible nurse. She just kept crying and said there’s no help to be seen
Quick update: Amarillo cases are going up. One ICU is full. We officially have COVID in our second ICU.
We don’t have the staff we need for a second round, so please PLEASE start wearing your mask again.
Sincerely, a tired ICU nurse.
