Student Nurse

Dear journal,
My worst fears have been confirmed. The health secretary have declared a new virus in Wuhan. We currently have ten patients being treated for this new virus. They are in such bad condition that I worry I may contract the disease myself. The hospital has introduced new PPE we must wear, but I still do not feel protected. Nobody knows the incubation period for this disease and I am concerned that I will pass it onto my classmates when I go to my lectures tomorrow. Most of them are not based at this hospital.
I have washed my hands so much that my skin has become red and dry. The mask that I wear all day is suffocating at times, especially when I am feeling anxious. It is not good to be nervous when you are a nurse because the patients can sense your worry and that makes them panic. I always want my patients to have hope that they will be alright and they will leave this place, but no one has left since contracting this disease.
My cat gives me comfort when I return to my apartment at the end of a shift. I think he knows that I am not feeling the best at the moment.
I will gives updates when I can,
Li
