My day usually start around 7 in the morning when I used to work as a registered nurse back in Nepal. At that time I don’t know about COVID but suddenly by the government their emphasis is lockdown. So I got stuck in the hospital itself. So basically I have to like what are usually a nurse to taking care of the client and from that day we have to wear a scrub, soot and face masks, double mask, double gloves. So my principal activities at that time was to look after nurses so that they are fully covered with all the preventive aids. So we have to be on the body scrub, soot for more than 12 hours because the shift was so long and we can’t even we have to hold our urine for such a long time we can’t take a fresh breath or we can’t even have our lunch for the whole 12 hour shift. So it’s quite difficult at that time and when I finished at 12 hours if I just went to the room take out all the scrubs and just go for a bath and after that I had a warm cup of tea. Oh my god that tea is just like a heaven for me. This kind of mask casualty usually happen in the day so we should get a backup staff prepared so that it won’t be so much workload on one or two staffers currently working there. So yeah we have to prepare everything in advance like the nurses or the medicine or the medical instruments that we need and oh my god the flow of passing how to handle the flow of passing the security of the hospital the doctors which is available for the treatment so we have to manage everything in the typical way.

My day usually starts around 7 in the morning when I worked as a registered nurse back in Nepal. At that time, I didn't know about COVID, but suddenly the government emphasized a lockdown. So I got stuck in the hospital itself. Basically, I had to do what a nurse usually does: taking care of the clients. From that day, we had to wear scrubs, suits, face masks, double masks, and double gloves. My principal activities at that time were to ensure that the nurses were fully covered with all the preventive aids. We had to be in our scrubs and suits for more than 12 hours because the shifts were so long. We couldn't even take a break to use the restroom; we had to hold our urine for such a long time, and we couldn't take a fresh breath or have our lunch during the whole 12-hour shift. It was quite difficult at that time. When I finished my 12-hour shift, I would go to the room, take off all the scrubs, and go for a bath. After that, I would have a warm cup of tea. Oh my god, that tea was like heaven for me. This kind of mask casualty usually happened during the day, so we needed to have backup staff prepared to avoid overloading one or two staff members currently working there. We had to prepare everything in advance, like the nurses, the medicine, and the medical instruments that we needed. Oh my god, managing the flow of patients, the security of the hospital, and the doctors available for treatment was quite a task. We had to manage everything in a typical way.
