Acquit.

I care about the patients and all but my family and live my life.

They mattered.

They come first.

Melissa Thomas Scott, a breast cancer survivor, and Mama four, made the difficult decision after being assigned to a floor where patients were being tested for Corona virus.

My manager sent me to a floor that is being tested for chroma.

She knows my health history.

She knows all of this.

I told her, My kids don't have anybody to go to while they're here.

I can't send my kids away like everybody else.

I'm done leaving.

Nurse Melissa walked out of Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, the hardest hit in Georgia.

Her video is getting mixed reaction on social media.

Good on you for standing up for yourself, goes one supportive comment.

There was also this.

It's what you signed up for when you're a nurse Nurse Melissa says she does wish he handled the situation differently.

I should have remained calm.

Do you want to try to return toe work?

I love my job.

I didn't want to do that, and that's one of the reasons why I was so upset because I felt like I was left with no other options.

The way that this thing has spread, I doubt if they will let me return.

But I mean, if given the chance, of course, I would take my job back.

Like Nurse Melissa, hospital employees across the country are under extreme stress.

Many of these heroes are venting their anguish on the instagram page.

Air it out Cove in 19.

I feel a knot in my stomach whenever I walk into the hospital, says this post.

I always knew I would have to work in a difficult and stressful environment, but I could never imagine this.
