16 nurses resigned collectively at the New Crown Pneumonia Designated Hospital in South Korea

16 nurses resigned collectively at the New Crown Pneumonia Designated Hospital in South Korea: No time to take care of the children . But recently, 16 nurses at the hospital have resigned. Most of the reasons for these nurses' resignations were late nights at designated hospitals and difficulties in caring for children.

From March 2nd, the entire inpatient building of Pohang Medical Center will only accept patients with new coronary pneumonia, and the operating hours will be adjusted to 7 am to 11 pm. The resignation of nurses has made medical staff in Pohang Medical Center more scarce and had to ask the Korean Nurses Association for support. Pohang Medical Center decided to recruit 15 volunteers from the Korean Nurses Association every day to minimize the problems caused by lack of nurses. In addition, the government has decided to recruit nursing volunteers through various channels.

Pohang Medical Center said that some nurses have been unable to return home for more than 10 days because clinical staff at specially designated hospitals must remain on the post until the situation improves. Therefore, some nurses in the family who have no one to look after their children have no choice but to resign.

However, an official from the Ministry of Health said that the nurses did not resign because they were too tired to fight the epidemic. They were already planning to leave in January or February. "They have actually decided to stay a few more weeks to help their colleagues who stayed until the person who will replace them this month."
