after two months of crisis, the rant of a nurse at the CHU de Rouen

“Y Fed up “, coward from the start Christine. Behind this assumed name: a nurse anesthesiologist from CHU of Rouen, who, while wishing to maintain the protection of anonymity, spontaneously wishes to let go of what is on her heart. This testimony commits only her, but it is shared by ” a lot ” of his colleagues, says the nurse. “But people are used to saying nothing. “

“Volunteering starts to do well”

However, as hospitals gradually regain more conventional activity, “We can feel that the word is released”, notes a CHU union official. Tomorrow Tuesday, the employees of the Rouen establishment are moreover called to express their dissatisfaction on the subject of the exceptional bonus promised to carers, but also to demand a salary increase. (read below).

“Volunteering starts to do well”, slice Christine. Right now, what worries her is the payment of her overtime during the crisis. The latter is afraid of never seeing the color (a subject on which the trade unions say they are alert). However, if Normandy was not the most affected region, “Everyone is mobilized”, insists the nurse anesthetist, “Especially to unclog Paris and the Grand Est”. “The guards were doubled or even tripled in an hour, the schedules could change four times a day, and people played the game.”

Furthermore, as it was already written at the height of the crisis, hospital activity outside of Covid had slowed markedly, sometimes even in worrying proportions. Due to the deprogramming, but also “Because people no longer dared to come”, recalls Christine. In return, “Those who came to the emergency room came for serious reasons, she explains. The machine had to turn next! “

So certainly, “The applause from the window is nice, but that’s not what we are asking for”, warns the caregiver. It is high time, she said, to review the salary status of nurses. As such, the “Ségur de la santé” leaves her very perplexed for the moment. “Our corporation is not sufficiently represented there”, she judges.

” Divide and rule “

As for the famous exceptional bonus … The mobilization of all CHU staff, whatever its importance, as part of the “White Plan”, justifies that it be paid to everyone, said the nurse. “When the President of the Republic was first announced, there was no question of conditioning it. Today it creates disappointment and frustration. We don’t make such announcements without being able to keep them! And then this way of categorizing people … Some colleagues will touch 500 euros while the teachers who welcomed their children to school will have 1,000 euros for that … It’s really divide to rule better. “

That’s why Christine, in her 30s or so years of professional service, needed to empty her bag. Besides, if she could go back, “I think I would have had my first years as a nurse in the hospital, before leaving for the liberal”. For this profession which already suffers from a lack of attractiveness, the confession sounds like a painful warning.

At the University Hospital of Rouen, the premium is targeting unions

In some establishments, the bonus will be 1,500 euros, 500 in others.

In some establishments, the bonus will be 1,500 euros, 500 in others.

This is an almost unanimous appeal that was launched to the employees of the Rouen University Hospital for this Tuesday, June 2. A call to strike, and to be heard, signed by a large inter-union CGT-FO-CFDT-Sud-CFTC, while a technical establishment committee (CTE) must be held in the morning devoted to the terms of payment of the bonus promised by the government.

If all the establishments are not already concerned in the region – in particular in
Dieppe where the anger of the hospitalists was expressed – it is also a given that not all staff will receive this bonus (there is talk of a quota of 40% of the workforce), and that the beneficiaries will themselves be divided into two categories : those who will receive 1,500 euros, and those who will only have 500 euros.

Divergences

However, the unions believe that all of the establishment’s agents, including support services such as the laundry, were involved in the management of the crisis and should be logically rewarded. And that everyone should even receive, without distinction, the 1,500 euros, like the claim that brings the CGT to the hospital
Eure-Seine (Évreux and Vernon).

“The feedback from the psychological unit set up at the CHU clearly shows that all the corporations were affected”, ensures
François His, for the CGT of the Rouen hospital.

“Humanly, nobody can say who deserves more or less”, increases
Guillaume Herlin, from the South union. However, in the services where the question arises, this mission could be entrusted to management, according to him. With the risk that conflicts of people will interfere with the diagnosis, fears François His more.

At the CHU
Rouen, only UNESCO does not call a strike on Tuesday. The union accepts the idea that
“We cannot give 1,500
euros to everyone “, explains one of its representatives.


Yes, the crisis has had a huge impact, people have seen their lives turned upside down. But we must also admit that others were not affected at all. “

The Unsa, on the other hand, associates itself with the multiple requests for salary increases and the big day of mobilization on June 16 in hospitals. This question of wages should also give rise to a second rally Tuesday, this time at the end of the day, on the initiative of the CGT.

Three covid-19 “clusters” in Normandy

Since the containment was lifted on May 11, 109 outbreaks of Covid-19 (or “clusters”) have been identified in France, but none has yet been the cause of the spread of the epidemic, according to the health agency Public Health France. More broadly, there is

“No signals for a resumption of the epidemic”.

In its weekly point of this Friday, May 29, the health agency notes that
“109 clusters [hors Ehpad et milieu familial restreint]
have been reported : 104 in mainland France and 5 in the overseas regions departments “. The
Normandy would have three “clusters” under investigation: one in
Seine-Maritime, one in
the Eure and a third in
the Orne.

“No community broadcasting [survenue de nouveaux cas hors de la collectivité et en lien avec le cluster]
uncontrolled is not
scope “,
according to Public Health France. In one in five cases, the outbreak is under control (no new case 7 days after the last), or even extinguished (no new case within 14 days). During the previous update on May 21, the number of outbreaks stood at 46.

However, health officials have repeatedly said that an increase is not bad news in itself, but rather reflects better tracking ability. Provided these outbreaks are controlled by isolating the positive cases. Among these 109 households,
“64 % have more than 5 cases ”.
