I'm an agency nurse that is designated to non-covid patients. This is done to prevent caregivers spreading covid to patients who don't otherwise have it. I showed up at an assignment to this facility and was ordered to take care of 3 covid positive patients that were intermingled among 20 negative patients. This facility was aware that covid patients were not to be assigned to us. Patients are contracting covid at this facility due to Management's failure to follow ODH guidelines. When I explained I couldn't take those patients or I would have to self isolate and cancel all my shifts for 2 weeks, I was told "we don't care" "that's not our problem" and that I would be reported for patient abandonment (by a "manager" that doesn't even know the proper definition of abandonment). I was a covid ICU nurse in new York from march-july. Sometimes you just need to accept that other people know more than you about some things, even if you don't like their skin color. I was also cursed at and berated by an AIDE for my refusal of this assignment. She clearly has no place but just decided she'd jump on the bullying and harassment bandwagon. I would suggest nurses to stay away unless you're the proper ethnic minority to avoid harassment and incivility. I've reported to the ODH which is my duty, hopefully before they infect more high risk patients with their negligence.
