3. Virus Protection
One of the most draining problems in winter is coming home from taking care of sick people all day and then taking care of your own sick children. As a nurse, you come into contact with all the nasty winter bugs from the common cold to RSV. These may not be bad enough to knock you on your behind, but they can make your kids miserable and rob you of much needed rest as a result. If you want a little extra protection at work, but hate wearing the standard face masks provided by your employer, you might branch out and try a different style like the antiviral Fitseal N99 face mask. It’s more than a little pricey ($5 to $6 each), but is designed for all-day comfort. Plus, it adheres to your face all the way around so germs can’t sneak in.
