Abstract
Objective: To describe the experiences of clinical nurses in suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a clinical inpatient unit. Experience report: Experience report of clinical nurses at a large university hospital located in Porto Alegre, related to measures taken against microbiological dissemination of the new Coronavirus and maintenance of activities amidst the pandemic in a clinical inpatient unit. Facing the imminence of the COVID-19 pandemic, measures were implemented to distance, increase surface and hand hygiene, reduce the flow of people, consciously and correctly use personal protective equipment, carry out health education activities and training on the correct dress and undress. In addition to these adjustments, institutional protocols were instituted and adjustments were made to optimize new care practices, aiming to minimize the exposure of patients, families and professionals to the circulating virus. Final considerations: The adjustments in organizational and operational practices in a clinical inpatient unit seek to ensure excellent service, seeking to reduce the incidence of contamination by COVID-19 at the location.
