U.S. Doctors + Nurses: Get a Free Bundle From FabFitFun

While everybody that interacts at work with the public is at risk, nurses/EMT’s/Paramedics are literally in the patients faces which increases the risk of contracting the disease substantially. There is a huge difference being a few feet away from someone versus 2-4 inches because you are doing CPR and inserting a breathing tube. I personally performed CPR and had to place a breathing tube into a pt 3 days ago which placed me at extreme risk due to aerosolization of particles directly onto me. There is no way around this when you are trying to save someones life, you have to get up close and personal. Believe me, I would much rather be 4 feet away at a checkout line or dropping a passage off at someones door. You can protect yourself so much better in those type of situations.

It was a kind gesture and I got my box today. I am grateful for my shipment and I also agree that there are so many people who deserve this!

I was able to get one before they sold out. Thank you FFF!

It’s awesome that so many companies are doing nice things for Drs and nurses but their are many professions that need to be recognized here that are also risking their health and are just as important. The transportation workers, the grocery employees, mail delivery, food service (A lot of them are still open doing deliveries and are not getting tipped), sanitation department, also the rest of the hospital staff/nursing home /caregiving/EMT/Fire/Police/Security all the way to housekeeping. Let’s not forget the people that still have to work at the manufacturing job being exposed to all their co-workers to keep products on the shelves in grocery stores, and supplies in hospitals. My husband who is a truck driver/(I also have my CDL but I can’t drive right now due to my health) said it is so rough out here due to most rest areas are closed, it’s difficult to find a place to park and sleep for the night, or grab something to eat, or even get a shower. A lot of states have shutdown a huge portion of facilities that we as truckers come to rely on to survive. We can’t just pull our truck through the drive through at a fast food joint to eat, and their are a lot of stores that do not allow trucks to park in their lot to shop (If we could even fit in their anyway lol). It was hard enough before this all happened to be away from our families, and to sleep in a tiny space, and to work 90+ hour weeks every week. Part of why the shelves are bare is there is a huge driver shortage and drivers are going home. It’s not worth staying out in these conditions. I haven’t seen my husband since December and probably won’t see him until the end of summer. I don’t blame them at all. I think companies and people need to start being more aware and look at the larger picture here. Helping Drs and Nurses are great but their are many industries that are vital and people are risking their lives (and their family’s) to keep things running. All these other industries most of the individuals are barely ends meet. Those are people we should be helping. Drs and nurses have a larger income and can afford things where grocery workers, housekeeping, caregivers, truck drivers ect…. is where companies should be donating care packages/or extra funds. I have already sent 11 care packages to my husbands work place to be handed out to the truck drivers when they arrive to the terminal. They had essentials in there like toiletries and snacks. I made up about 50 of them. I will continue doing this as long as I have the extra resources to be able to do it.

Sad I missed out on this. How many did they give away?

Lol, trying to keep up with ipsy.

Although ipsy’s was not great, either. They specified “health care workers” but rejected multiple people who applied for it.

It would be nice if therapists were recognized as well! We may not be there in the beginning but we are key to recovery after the fact! My facility is already taking patients in recovery!

Most of the hospital gets forgotten in order to honor doctors and nurses, and while we greatly appreciate what they do there are so many other professions. What about radiology which is the backbone of the hospital since most doctors can’t even diagnose without some sort of radiology exam: chest x-rays, CT, ultrasound, nuc med, etc.

Nice….but what about the Respiratory Therapists? They are the ones managing vents, on the Code blue team, right on the front line too!

And also a big thank you to all of you out there fighting this. May you stay safe. You are in my thoughts.

Did anyone actually get one? I wonder how many they were giving away? They sold out while I was being verified 🤷‍♀️

I know there are bigger things to worry about, but as a Respiratory Therapist managing Covid vent patients right now, I was a little let down that my profession was left out. Then I felt bad for paramedics, emts, PAs, and all the other people dealing directly with this pandemic who were also excluded. Why couldn’t they say healthcare professionals?

Still waiting for the verification email. If they are truly out of bundles, will they email that or just leave us hanging?

Despite getting a code the main page where I signed up for code also now says out of bundles. I seem to be missing out on everything for Registered Nurses.

They just verified that I am a RN, but are out of bundles. Sad.

That was disappointing. I’m a doctor and just got off work and checked my subscription addiction to relax. What a pleasant surprise to see such a thoughtful bundle! After refreshing a few times I got a code… and then learned the bundle is all gone. It’s a nice thought for those who got it though.

I just sent my info in, and waiting for it to verify my info. Sent copy of my RN license.

I was able to redeem for my sister with a screenshot of her license and I kept refreshing and doing over when error message came up! And it worked

I keep getting an error message. Any chance you could follow up with Fabfitfun about the glitch?

I’m already a subscriber, but I’m also a nurse in ICU working through this pandemic. When I went to verify my status it said that I was being “too enthusiastic and had already redeemed this offer”. This is the first I’ve heard about it and I was excited. I assume it’s saying that bc I already subscribe but it seems unfair that I get excluded just because I’m already a customer. Maybe I should just cancel my subscription and then try?

It only gives the option for nurses and doctors. What about all the other healthcare workers that are on the front lines?

This is so nice.
