A majority of nurses in a survey say they are still reusing protective gear like masks and gowns a year into the pandemic

Nurses still aren't getting enough masks or regular testing a year into the pandemic, a survey conducted by National Nurses United suggests.

In the survey of 9,200 registered nurses in the US in February, 81% said they had reused single-use personal protective equipment, such as masks and gowns. In the union's survey of 23,000 nurses conducted last April and May, 87% reported reusing personal protective gear.
