Oh well back On Night Duty tonight, don't feel overjoyed at prospect but Nursing is one of those jobs You don't do for money. Really hoped I would get Shielding but Gold Standard is 49% and a year ago I was 52%, IDon't misunderstand me I'm glad to be a whole lot fitter than most people here😘 just terrified going into Confirmed Cases and of course 3 less beautiful souls we lost this week. Take care all and Stay Home πŸ‘πŸ˜·

I echo skischΓ²ol. I hope they consider your health and don't put you on the C19 front line....also hoping you're not in too big a city.

Thinking of you and all your colleagues ❀

I too echo skis sentiments. I hope, if you speak to HR, they will take account of your possible vulnerability and make allowances. Cheered for you last night and am cheering for you now.

Stay safe.

Coffee queen i really admire you ! I have mild/ moderate copd and like you wondered if id get a letter to stay home. Nothing recieved yet & doubtful i will get one. I find the guidelines a bit confusing and contradictory to be honest

Please stay as safe as you can. I also work full time for the nhs but im in an admin role. Take care xx

Having worked in the care industry I can understand the Home needing you but it is worrying for you if you are unable to self isolate in the circumstances.

I hope that you will be able to stay safe when at work and that adequate protective equipment will be available. Best wishes xx

Hi

Have you taken advice on wether you should be at work? I also did not recieve a letter but I am self isolating as advised by the government, if you cant work with social distancing and are vulnerable then im sure you should have measures put in place, if not possible then remain at home

Take Care of yourself tonight, hopibg you have a safe shift

Hi Thank you for all that you do for the safety of the people in your care.Regarding letters being sent out I received mine this morning .I have been self isolating for a month anyway ,as I’m aware what covid19 can do to people ,especially those with respiratory problems.So there may be quite a delay in letters being sent out.Its awful having to work and being continually anxious about this virus.

I’m really shocked you are working in a care home with confirmed CVID cases. You are definitely on the vulnerable list with COPD!

Letter or none. CV is very dangerous for you. Stay at home, save your life and a nhs bed ??

I got sent home from the hospital I work at ( they had to do a staff risk assessment) I have Copd. Emphysema It goes against the grain with me but now I understand how dangerous for me it is.
