My facility has 2 patients with CONFIRMED scabies. I learned of this when I came in for my shift today from my COWORKERS. No warnings from supervisors. No PPE was given. I have charted on everything, discussed with med techs AND supervisors, as well as had discussions with coworkers about the situation. Supervisors told me they know and they are not quarantining the patients or providing PPE because they have already been treated”… but they were NEVER quarantined. ALSO THEIR FAMILIES HAVE BEEN VISITING AND HUGGING THEM??? Scabies is pretty much my biggest fear so I’m not sure if I’m overreacting because of that or? I am planning on calling the health department and AHCA on Monday as they were closed by the end of my shift. Assuming none of them were contacted by management..
