Hospital workers in northeast Kansas are being strained as they battle the coronavirus, including those working in rural hospitals. Lacey Niehues is the nurse manager for the Community HealthCare System in rural Onaga. Her nurses work in multiple departments, unlike larger healthcare facilities. “Our nurses are taking care of not just the floor patients or the patients that are on the medical floor,” Niehues said. “They also take care of the ER patients, the outpatients, the OB patients. Our nurses, they wear many hats.”
