MINNEAPOLIS — As daily COVID cases and hospitalizations rise in Minnesota and across the country, the president of the Minnesota Nurses Association hopes you do more than shrug.

Back in April, Turner first spoke on behalf of the 23,000 members of the Minnesota Nurses Association, but she also spoke about her own personal experience on the front lines.

Turner says COVID patients have once again filled her ICU and another med-surg floor at the hospital, with others filling fast.

We're using the Remdesivir; Dexamethasone, Decadron, that's the steroid; (convalescent) plasma, but it's not like, 'Oh, you get the drugs and you're better,'" Turner said.

And she says, right now, COVID and emergency patients aren't the only ones filling beds.

"Back in March and April, the hospitals weren't doing elective surgeries," Turner said.
