North Dakota nurses worry about working with sick colleagues
By JAMES MacPHERSON and STEPHEN GROVESNovember 15, 2020 GMT
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Like many medical workers around the world, Fargo emergency room nurse Adam Johnston can’t escape the grim reality of the coronavirus pandemic. It follows him everywhere: at work, where people die every shift; at the grocery store, where people rail against his city’s mask requirement; and at home, where he struggles to sleep.
He’s gotten through the long months, including North Dakota’s current virus wave that is among the worst in the U.S., by finding solace with fellow nurses during brief breaks where they can swap tips on beating insomnia or just vent frustrations. But he and many other nurses fear things are about to get even harder now that Gov. Doug Burgum has allowed the state’s beleaguered hospitals to use infected but asymptomatic workers to treat COVID-19 patients.
Some Sanford Health Bismarck staff members on Monday received what hospital President Michael LeBeau called âthe beacon of hope.
Employees received some of the first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in the state, nine months after the coronavirus pandemic took hold in North Dakota.
âTodayâs the day we go on offense,â LeBeau said.
Four Sanford employees Mubashir Badar, Karin Willis, Todd Schaffer and Rainalda Schaeffer were the first to be vaccinated, with about 70 other staff to follow. Sanford Bismarck has more than 1,000 vaccine doses, and the Sanford Health system has about 11,000 total doses.
Sanford CEO Bill Gassen was present for the vaccinations. He said that when he drove his daughters to school Monday morning in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, they talked about how historic the day would be.
