Along with caring for the patients’ needs, Vontz said she has also helped several patients video call with their loved ones, as visitors are currently not allowed in the hospital. “It can get a little lonely back there for the patients,” Vontz said. “And then change back into our regular street clothes, or the scrubs that we came in wearing. There’s Lysol right on the inside of our door that I spray my phone, my keys, spray everything down. That’s kind of what I do.”Working with COVID patients also puts nurses at a higher rate for contracting the virus.
