They might start to face consequences short-term as well. I've read about hospitals going specifically for non-vaccinated people who got laid off. Getting enough nurses is almost always a huge problem. It's almost like cheating if you can grab other hospital's staff.
When I was in the hospital for emergency surgery I kept hearing the nursing staff talk about the various opportunities available with signing bonuses and higher salaries. Apparently the current bonuses they were getting for working through the pandemic were going away so they were all looking at the new ones popping up all over.
We just lost a bunch of our IT staff to WFH consultant jobs -making over $150,000!! The hospital where we work can't pay that kind of money!
Those hospitals should have given higher wages instead of bonuses. But, we all know why they didn't.
Those positions have been around for decades... and are available to allied health professionals too (SLPs, PTs etc). I seriously looked into them back in the early 90s. Amazing perks/ money...and a great way to travel
It’s called the fucking CARES Act. Translation: we are paying for it.
Nurses have it hard. He's probably pulling some night-shifts and working some hollydays. Perhaps he specialized in something while working weird hours. He's lucky there are agencies. But, the agencies came along because the hospitals didn't treat nurses right. Agencies is just omething more powerful than a union.
