Alyssa Parra, a supervising nurse at the University of Louisville Hospital says, "We are holding admitted patients in the emergency department for days upon days." Patients are kept in the ER because there are no beds. She adds, "I feel like everybody is in survival mode. And not only just us in the emergency department. I think the whole hospital is."
Parra says that the hospital's ER has had the least number of nurses ever. According to her, many of them stepped away from the job and needed a mental break from it. She adds that the job is difficult but it is getting more difficult by the day. The contagious Omicron variant has stretched the staff thinner in the hospital. Last month around 450 employees called in sick on the same day.
