Posted by NervousNell Posted by Sparrow I'm a nurse and I've had plenty of 12 hour shifts where I wore a mask basically the entire time. It's never been an issue. Many of my coworkers wore them for their entire shifts for months because they declined the flu shot and it was a hospital mandate. I never heard any of them complain about it. Not sure about the specifics of the mask you're wearing though. Now that the public has to wear them I hear lots of complaints. As far as the N95s, those I could see maybe being more of an issue because if they fit correctly there is no air going around them. I've never had to wear one of those for longer than maybe 20 minutes at a time and I don't think I'd want to, they tend to be very tight and uncomfortable. I thought about that. Like all the nurses and doctors wearing them for extended periods. I wonder if it's maybe something you have to get used to? Like over time it gets better? I think so. I hadn't had one on in a while and the first time or two I wore one it did annoy me a bit. Didn't give me a headache though. I wonder about all of the these home made masks and masks sold on Amazon, maybe some of them are too thick and might cause a problem.
