Ebola Nurse Speaks out to the public

Not much but a small peek into the isolation room of a healing patient. Working in an ICU myself, and having my unit be designated as the place in my hospital where the patients will be cared for, this hits a remarkably real nerve for me and many others.

My advice to everyone is educate yourselves. Know the symptoms. Know which hospital in your area will take these types of patients. Will a full outbreak occur? I'd lean toward no, but will more cases be popping up? Good chance. The nurse and the hospital of that first patient were not prepared in the slightest and I feel bad for them and angry at their administration for how it was handled in regard to staff safety. My hospital as well as many around the country are preparing extensively, working in conjunction with clinical advisers on how to best maintain patient and staff safety. I wish for no more cases to pop up anywhere, but I know we are more prepared and getting better each day.
