Aaaand now that my test is back they're putting me to work.

Tomorrow I've been assigned to work in an "ICU" that they jury-rigged out of a PACU (where they normally take people after they've had surgery). I will have no interns. The attending will be overseeing both the regular ICU and this PACU-ICU so will have more patients than usual and will be located on a completely different floor. I will either have to stay in a spacesuit-like-thing all day except to eat and go to the bathroom or I will be re-using PPE, they haven't told me yet. And this is actually at one of our sister hospitals so I will not know any of the nurses or RTs or any of the phone numbers to call these people in an emergency.

I hate this. I HATE THIS! Working in the ICU scares me under normal conditions. This is just insane.
