Banner nurse doesn’t feel hospital was prepared for influx of virus patients

By Griselda Zetino | KTAR

An intensive care unit nurse doesn’t feel like the Valley hospital where she works was prepared for a recent influx of coronavirus patients.

“We didn’t have much notice for it,” Samantha Lange, an ICU nurse at Banner Boswell Medical Center, told KTAR News 92.3 FM on Monday.

“It went from maybe five or six patients positive [for COVID-19] in our ICU at a time to almost our entire 38-bed ICU full.”

And the influx is not only felt in the hospital’s ICU.
