These Are Some of The First Professionals Positioned on The Front Line Against The Coronavirus, But in A Virtual Community of Brazilian Nursing Technicians and Nurses, Tempers Are Running High

Nursing Technicians and Nurses are extremely important professionals for public, private, and occupational health, even though they often do not receive due monetary recognition. When there is a need to combat epidemiological outbreaks, such as the coronavirus, these professionals are the first to take up the frontline.

The greatness of these professionals does not exempt them from concern, even though they are trained and accustomed to protective measures in the hospital environment, since Nursing Technicians would be in direct contact with patients.

According to reports from some Nursing professionals in the community on a social network, the ideal mask model is the N-95 approved and certified by ANVISA and INMETRO.

“I am very worried, I am scared but I give everything into God’s hands so that He can protect all of us”, says Iris Santos.

Silvana Pontes tries to calm the tempers: ” We must stay calm, the population needs our care, let’s protect ourselves and ask Almighty God to accompany us in every service, giving us deliverance, we are all afraid but we have something greater, Faith, and we are the Lord’s angels! Stay strong, friends!”

“Everyone is susceptible to this. Especially those who take crowded buses or subways. Those who do not wash their hands properly, in the hospital can still use masks, but many people in other jobs cannot wear them”, adds Joyce Ribeiro.

Nursing Technicians and Occupational Nurses are not only with patients in hospitals, they are also very present in the energy, industrial, oil sectors, etc., as companies in these fields and medium/large companies usually have infirmaries to attend to operational incidents.

Despite some confirmed and suspected cases of coronavirus in Brazil, public and private service operations are still normal.
