Michigan nurses say they are forced to wear same mask all day, beg for help during COVID-19 pandemic
Michigan nurses said they are being forced to work under unsafe conditions.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Michigan COVID-19 hospitalizations are up, and nurses are begging lawmakers for help. I don t know that I ve ever worked with sicker patients than these covid patients. They re just so fragile, said Luke Vandenberg, a nurse at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.
Vandenberg and other nurses met with representatives Debbie Dingell and Rashida Tlaib on Thursday to share their concerns about their working conditions. We call it frontline because it s like wartime nursing, Vandenberg said. You re jumping from one crisis to the next and you re doing so with too few staff and often too few resources.
