To add fuel to the fire, my little state has a sizeable West African population, and the largest per capital Liberian population in the US.
This R.N. has received more Ebola info on my rides home from work listening to Sean Hannity on the radio than I have from my own healthcare facility which is pretty pathetic.
For those praying for the Pope save a few of those prayers for me and my nursing colleagues as we can certainly use them.

You need to be contacting the CDC, or Osha, or the Health Regulatory Board for your state, or JCAHO, or any other agency you can think of. I don't know if you would have to give your name (in case you are afraid of retribution). But even if your hospital gets angry, what is more important-you and your co-workers being protected from a potentially deadly disease??? or--losing your job? I don't think I would want to work for a hospital who doesn't seem to care about me. !!!!!!!!!!!! Or their patients.
