It's the day we have all been waiting for. The end to the Mask Mandate in Healthcare Facilities.
Masks were like our safety blanket during the pandemic—always there to protect us and others.
Now that we don't have to wear them all the time, it's a mix of feelings. There's relief, for sure. It's nice to see each other's faces again and talk without muffled voices. But there's also some worry. We got used to masks, and they made us feel safe. Now, we have to adjust to a new normal.
For nurses who started their careers during the pandemic, this is a really big change. Masks were part of the job from day one. There are a handful of nurses that I work with that have never worked as a nurse without having a mask mandate. That seems so crazy and this will be a big adjustment to them.
Here is to starting fresh! Now we all probably need to start wearing makeup again.
