It just gets better /S:
"However, some nurses also are wary of the COVID-19 vaccine. Some nurses with large social media followings have participated in protests in Southern California, arguing that the mandates violate their personal freedom."

Cole of Scripps Health said the state’s testing requirement, imposed last week, already has discouraged some out-of-state, traveling nurses from taking temporary jobs at California hospitals.

“If they don’t want to get vaccinated, they are turning down California assignments,” he said.

Traveling nurses in high demand
To contend with local shortages, hospitals are increasingly turning to hiring temporary, traveling nurses from around the country.

Let’s see....

CDC employees don’t have to get a vaxx. Neither do FDA, WH, USPS, or even employees of some of the vaxx manufacturers.

Note to refusenik healthcare workers: You’re in good company, aren’t you...

Artificial “shortage” created by the unintended consequences of vaccine mandates.

Some nurses don’t want to get vaccinated.

What do they know that the rest of us aren’t being told?

A manufactured crisis. Get the vax or get sacked. Oh dear, we have a nurse shortage.

We are at the intersection of dumb and evil.

“ICU nurse can have no more than two patients”

Is this a union pushed thing? Whenever I’ve been in an ICU as a visitor, I never seen nurses hovering over a patient half-time.

Any med folks out there that can explain this?

Any medical professional who has been working with Covid patients for the last year and a half has got to have dynamite immunity against it by now.

Requiring a vax for them is ludicrous.

Geeeeez. If they’d just get the shot they’d be welcome back I’m sure. Or they can tell the admins to kiss their collective butts and drop the mandates.

Vaccine mandates are magic.

They make nurses disappear!

CA had a serious nursing shortage before COVID. In fact, my daughter was an RN and changed careers before COVID to gain some life-work balance. Many of her peers did the same. Then COVID caused many more to quit.

Travelling nurses are making some huge money right now. Sometimes more than the MDs they work with. Some Nurses are quitting their jobs to cash in on some short term money.

We all know how to solve this.

Secession.

I be dam if anyone with any sense would want to be dragged down the hole by a bunch of useless whores and assholes that inhabit the nor loch-Washington DC.

My wife, a supervising RN here in California, has some insight on the shortage. Nursing schools from public colleges and universities have so few openings, applicants that have 4.0 GPAs often have to wait 2-3 years and hope for an opening. The schools have never responded to the demand. My wife has never had her nursing positions completely filled since becoming supervisor. Also, there is a major backlog in RN licensing applications that the Board of Registered Nursing has not processed. A family member got her nursing degree in May and it still waiting for her RN license application to be processed.

They’re not working too hard to fill the gaps across the country, either. My wife is attending nursing school and is nearly ready to graduate. Over the course of her program, she has seen an attrition rate of over 85%. That means, for every 100 students, about 87 of them are getting dropped. One marking period below a grade of 85 drops you.

These are not dumb people. They passed the entrance exam and demonstrated they have the grade point average to get into the program. In some cases, they made it 3/4 of the way through the program and struggled with a couple of classes, only to be dropped.

A lot of this is the result of poor quality of education. I’ve listened to several of her lectures. I scratch my head how the teacher was able to pass the programs herself.

This, along with the artificially generated problem of vaccine mandates for medical staff has caused a serious problem in the profession.

In the past month, four emergency room nurses ... have quit at the Eureka hospital where Matt Miele works.

It should be super easy to hire replacement ER nurses. So, go ahead with those draconian vaccine mandates, all you administrators. There won’t be any staff shortages. No sir. No problem.

## “One hospital told us they had 474 unvaccinated employees. They did a big education and incentive push. Only 12 people signed up,” said Richardson, the hospital association’s attorney.
