OAK RIDGE, Tenn. Emergency room nurse Jenna Rasnic has our pandemic fatigue beat. I m tired of wearing a mask, too. I m tired of not being able to go out too, she said. I m also more tired of people coming in and dying when they shouldn t have to.
She sees more and more COVID-19 patients every day at Methodist Medical Center in Oak Ridge, where she works alongside nurse Bryan Helton. It s sad to see the fear in the eyes of a mother who has kids at home and is scared she won t be able to take care of her kids, Helton said. Or a dad who is scared he’s going to leave his kids behind. This virus changes peoples lives.
