A Los Angeles Times reporter tried to get in touch with the nurse not long after her name was released to the public:
@Nina_Pham hoping to reach you please call 213-265-8572

Requests were made to give Pham a break:
@mollyhf @Nina_Pham You must be kidding. Poor girl is sick and in hospital. Leave her alone

@wpxstar @mollyhf @Nina_Pham couldn't agree more. This is disgusting.
