The Decoded Science website interviewed healthcare workers about lingering Ebola concerns and posted their responses.
Of the twelve interviewees, there were seven nurses, three certified nursing assistants, one pediatric emergency technician, and one medical laboratory scientist — ranging from one year of experience to 35+ years of experience in the medical field, the article said.
“This is the most concerned I have been for my personal safety, and subsequently my family’s safety, in 20 years. My current concerns are the complete lack of education, training and personal protection. There is no plan in place at my current place of employment and we have not heard of any upcoming classes or safety training. Personal protective equipment is inadequate!” one respondent said.
“I am concerned that there is not a specific screening process currently in the Emergency Department (ED) I work in. We have been told to isolate patients who exhibit ‘symptoms’ and have been out of the country, but nothing has been added to our triage process or posted in the ED to notify patients of this information," another respondent said.
