Actually, I was the one who posted about the violations.
Here's the thing though...as a nurse, I work with many patients who are HIV/Hep B/ Hep C positive-and I take all the necessary precations, and I assume that my employers will take the necessary precautions to protect me as well....however, many of the patients spit at us( I had one guy spit HIV positive blood at me), swing at us, cough on us, etc-and I have no rights againts them-I can't sue them , even though they put my health-and life at risk-so, what I guess I'm trying to say is , even the employer can't always make things right.
But, I know this, and I still go to work every shift.
Also, I think a fund for the families is a great idea. Last night -when we thought there was still a chance-Mr.RN and I thought that we should donate some $$.
So very, very sad. My heart breaks at the thought of wives waiting to learn if their husbands are alive or not-I couldn't handle it, thats for sure.
