I\u2019m not. But this mask is better than wearing no protection at all. We ran out of masks a week ago at the hospital, so I borrowed this one from my son. Nice bonus is that it makes of lot of my patients smile when I enter their room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve just finished a fourteen hour shift. It\u2019s exhausting. I haven\u2019t seen my family for weeks\u2026 I just don\u2019t want to risk infecting them, you know. I\u2019m staying in this rented room near the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not a hero. I do what I\u2019ve been doing for many years now: I help people. Because that\u2019s what we nurses do. We take care of people. It\u2019s what we are put on this planet for, I think so anyway. We don\u2019t need applause for that. We do need the right equipment. And a bigger pay check would be great too.
