Nursing's Response
to COVID
For the second year in a row, the COVID-19
(COVID) pandemic was a major focus for the
nursing team across the organization.
During the initial year of the pandemic, COVID care was limited to
designated units (ex: 6 BT, MICU, PICU), which contained the risk
of transmission and lessened the global impact on staff. As more
knowledge was gained about COVID, safety measures were tested
and found to be effective, allowing COVID care to be expanded to all
areas and units.
In year two, patients with a primary COVID diagnosis continued to
receive care in the designated COVID units. Patients with non-COVID
diagnoses were allowed to receive care on clinically appropriate
units, despite COVID status. This was beneficial for patients as they
were able to receive care from nursing staff who were most familiar
with their care needs. In order to support this care model change,
staff across all departments received education to become clinically
competent with COVID care. The expansion of care resulted in fewer
numbers of COVID patients on each unit, which made the workload
more manageable throughout the organization.
