A New Jersey nurse bought protective gear for her coworkers using donations, then was suspended by her own hospital

The nurses said some of the non-COVID-19 patients are heart and lung transplant recipients.

The intensive care nurses said they are directed to call a "command center" when they need more supplies. But when they reach out, "You get yelled at sometimes," one of the nurses said. Francis Giantomasi, an attorney who serves as the chairman of the hospital's board of trustees, said the problem isn't a lack of money. Newark Beth Israel had $186 million in net assets, according to its 2017 tax forms. It paid its chief executive officer Darrell Terry more than $1.4 million in salary and compensation, the documents show.

In its statement the hospital blamed the problem on the way supplies are distributed. "No one person, institution, or hospital can independently correct this global supply shortage," it said.

If they couldn’t supply it. They could have at least assessed it for use rather than suspending her. Well done to an innovative young lady when the hospital failed her and her colleagues.

they are in it for the government welfare

Newark_Beth I understand policy, protocol, etc., but these are extraordinary times. Are you ppl crazy? Or are you afraid of your GPO retaliating? Maybe it’s time to rethink who you serve.

No words.
