 My name is Hospital Corman Third Class Janet Rosas. I am a medical laboratory technician on board USNS Comfort. So I was born in Lindwood, California. I have lived all over Los Angeles County. My family is currently residing in Lakewood slash Long Beach. Most of my family is located in California right now. So I was actually going to high school in Lemora, California Naval Station. So everybody around me was prior Navy or active Navy somehow tied to the Navy and they basically motivated me to join and I'm very glad they did so. So I am actually attached to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth but the USNS Comfort is my platform so most of the time when the comfort goes out, so do I. So my day usually begins, we wake up, we go grab something to eat. We're working 12-hour shifts right now so we go in, relieve our counterparts, take on any patients that they might have been working on throughout the night, go ahead and do our quality control of the day and the patients start rolling in. We get samples, start testing them and pushing blood products out. My job is I work in the blood bank which means we receive samples for patients awaiting some type of transfusion whether it's for blood products. We do issue, you know, thought plasma, cryo, all the extra products as well. So we just receive samples, we test them, find compatible units and push them on out. Patients get transfused, we get everything back, review everything, make sure you know patients aren't having reactions and that's that's our patient care. I believe everybody was a little concerned at first. At this point I believe, I truly believe everybody has a routine established where you know it's just second nature to wash your hands after you receive any sample sanitized at every you know station. It's just become you know part of our daily routine. Yeah we still think about it but at the same time I believe we're taking precautions to really lower the risk of us getting infected. Our nurses have definitely you know established some very strict rules that I believe you know have made such a big difference. It's the little things in my book that are you know keeping us safe at this point and they've done a great job enforcing them. Like I said it's second nature now for everyone to sanitize, wash, social distancing, big one. We switch our masks daily, we are covered up completely when we're working with patient samples. It's just you know these are things we do at the hospital. They're just a little a few extra steps that we're taking here for the comfort. So I do talk to my family almost on a daily basis. They're doing okay right now. Everybody is mostly staying at home just keeping up to date. It's a little hard to be away from family especially during these times but they're very proud of me. They do believe that we're making a difference here and I think we really are you know. So that's that's what's important to me that they're safe and that we're doing a good job here.
