An unidentified patient was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital for Ebola testing on Tuesday, but if the case had presented at a different hospital would staffs have been prepared? The question has been plaguing the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA). Its members have been asking for statewide training and protocol to be put in place at Bay State hospitals for months. David Schildmeier, the director of public communications for the MNA, acknowledged that several Massachusetts hospitals have been designated as Ebola treatment centers, but without "uniform and consistent training and preparation...there could be a break in the system that could cause exposure to a caregiver, or worse, to a community member."
