A Nurse Bought Protective Supplies for Her Colleagues Using GoFundMe. The Hospital Suspended Her. She raised more than $12,000 to buy and distribute protective gear for her colleagues, who say they felt inadequately protected against COVID-19. How a confrontation in one of the nation’s Coronavirus hotspots illustrates a troubling national trend. Read in ProPublica: https://apple.news/A3et0cYkURz6cwgt-ekBr0Q

The fact that your administration is firing caring nurses for purchasing equipment they needed to deal with Covid 19 is despicable . I hope you get fired.

Your administration is garbage. Protect your healthcare workers!

Incredibly disappointed that you felt suspending a nurse for attempting to protect herself and her co-workers was the right thing to do. You should be ashamed and the person(s) who made this decision reprimanded.

Don't can their staff for being proactive. Every administrator in this place should be canned and never be offered another job in healthcare.

I’ve only read about your decision to get rid of a nurse who used a GoFundMe to collect for PPE for her colleagues. If you aren’t providing the proper PPE, your decision is shameful.

Olga Matievskaya organized fundraising to buy the protective gear that was needed by staff that you could not or chose not to provide during the COVID-19 pandemic. You suspended her. You are DESPICABLE!
