this fed-up nurse just quit her job in a
very public way on facebook melissa
thomas scott a breast cancer survivor
and mom of four made the difficult
decision after being assigned to a floor
where patients were being tested for
coronavirus my manager sent me she knows
my health history she knows all of this
I told her my kids don't have anybody to
go to while they're here I can't send my
kids away like everybody else
nurse Melissa walked out a Phoebe Putney
Memorial Hospital the hardest hit in
Georgia her video is getting mixed
reaction on social media good on you for
standing up for yourself goes one
supportive comment there was also this
it's what you sign up for when you're a
nurse nurse Melissa says she does wish
she handled the situation differently
I should have remained calm do you want
to try to return to work I love my job
I didn't want to do that and that's one
of the reasons why I was so upset
because I felt like I was left with no
other options the way that this thing is
spread I doubt if they will let me
return but I mean if given the chance of
course I would take my job back like
nurse Melissa hospital employees across
the country are under extreme stress
many of these heroes are venting their
anguish on the Instagram page air it out
Cobin 19 I feel a knot in my stomach
whenever I walk into the hospital says
this post I always knew I would have to
work in a difficult and stressful
environment but I could never imagine
this
