What is Coronavirus?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The current outbreak is caused by a novel coronavirus (nCoV).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coronavirus is primarily spread from one to another through respiratory droplets. If an infected person coughs or sneezes, their droplets will land on surfaces or other people. If these droplets enter another person\u2019s nose, mouth, or eyes, they can contract COVID-19. According to a particular <\/span>study<\/span><\/a>, coronavirus can stay on a surface for 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms of coronavirus can vary depending on severity. Common signs of coronavirus include shortness of breath, coughing, fever, and trouble breathing.

ICUs, CVICUs, and emergency departments are suffering great losses due to nurses requiring quarantine. While many hospitals in Washington are in current need of more nurses, others are preparing for the future. With more cases of coronavirus popping up each day, hospitals are bracing themselves for even more patients than they are currently receiving. Currently, there is a need for single-shift, short-term, and long-term travel nurses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if a hospital has few nurses that are currently in quarantine, they will be preparing for the future when more nurses become sick. Other travel nurses may work with patients who are currently in quarantine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
