Just got word from my Supervisor, that my Vacations and Lieu days off are cancelled due to a Staffing shortage. As a nurse with a Certification in Respiratory and Ventilator equipment I find myself deemed essential staff, Overtime hours here I come and hopefully this thing blows over so I can get a break.
Yes, medical staff are essential. I hope you manage to keep yourself healthy whilst in the thick of it in a medical facility and sure you will do your best to bring comfort to the many disease-affected patients. All the best with it.
