It's insane. People that work WITH each other were unaware they were both on the fire list until their boss mentioned they'll be losing 1/2 their staff!!! That's how beaten down these people are.
Not being able to trust ANYONE and being made to feel alone. They are VERY smart and VERY good at what they do, them joining forces is what we need.
Words getting out and they're finding each other, and helping each other.
Our hospital is only a little over 50% vaxed and our mandate goes into effect oft 1. I got a religious exemption and have help a few others obtain one too. The same thing is although I am finding a few nurses going against the train.. the majority of that 50% unvaccinated is in our support staff. Out of all professions and departments at our hospital nursing has the highest rate of vaccine compliance and that right there makes me so sad that nurses so willingly jumped on the bandwagon. Multiple of my friends are nurse managers and that are only losing one or 2 staff members over the mandate. But other departments like our central supply and environmental services are going to be crushed. I don’t think anyone is going to want to be anywhere near the hospital when this all goes down, scary times.
Though working from home has many advantages the one thing it creates is silence and you don't know your co-workers. In 2019 something happened to change the way we work coding charts. It was then that I wondered if the real goal of being a remote worker was to divide us and in essence we don't trust each other because we don't know each other. It's come down to seeing a name on an email. I've been remote since 2008 so it's not a new thing for our facility. It just hit me when we were changing to a new way of coding that no other place I've worked uses and we really needed each other because this new way is stressful as hell. Anyway, I have one coworker I trust to keep things I say between us. The future looks bleak for healthcare in general.

My kid is refusing for a multitude of reasons - religion is one of them, a big one. But not the only reason, they say:
Since when isn't "No" good enough?
So why cant we get together and fund pods of based docs and nurses like teachers and get proper medical care
