I started a new job at a hospital and was assigned locker #17. I was so excited. Felt like a sign to hold the damn line because the plan is in place. Just had to share my own personal hopium injection. Maybe if anyone else has had anything like this happen to them since fake Inauguration Day please share :)

Love it!!
Seriously it was like another power was speaking to me. It’s a covid unit I’m working. New place. My nerves. Stress from politics. And when I saw my locker number assigned to 17 it’s like all my stress dissipated. I was internally calm. It was amazing.
Best of luck to you in the new place! What has been your experience so far on the covid unit?
Honestly. It’s definitely overplayed. Don’t get me wrong these people are very sick. And very isolated and alone in the process. But I don’t feel like wearing an n95, a mask over it, a scrub cap, foot coverings and gowning up with face shields makes me feel any safer. It still tracks. Also. I’ll take my chances with covid. I signed no for the vaccine. My personal view of my new covid unit. Most patients were over 60. No one can as critical. Granted it’s a smaller community hospital. But still. The saddest part is that they can’t have even one family member in there. Which is horseshit to me. Because there are precautions we could take to allow one person to be with them. I could go on about it. Yes did I strip down in the garage after work just in case and shower ? Of course. I have kids. But I didn’t feel any more protected in all the PPE than I would in a portapotty at a baseball game or concert. Just my thoughts though.
Thanks for sharing your POV!
