Question

Describe how you understand the role of the community health nurse during the initial outbreak of a global pandemic such as Ebola. I want each of you to specifically discuss how your role is going to change upon graduation from being a student nurse to being a registered nurse in the community or hospital setting during a global pandemic. Discuss topics such as stigma, ethical responsibility, concerns, humanity, fears, etc. Tie together the various pieces of the videos you watched with your own thoughts and understanding. The discussion post is a safe space and I want to genuinely hear each of your thoughts and feelings when considering yourself as the frontline nurse providing care to patients both in the initial outbreak phase and then as the outbreak continues (hospitals are still full of patients with COVID-19). For instance, when COVID-19 initially broke out many nurses (as well as other healthcare professionals) were required to work and care for COVID-19 patients without their organizations providing them with sufficient PPE and many became sick or died.
