What? No masks! No dancing syringes! No holier than thou lectures to the unwashed rabble! This cannot possibly be the same nurses that "protected" us 3 years ago.
If they are serious about staffing and patient care, their first demand should be to reinstate with back pay and seniority those pushed out...those that THEY WILLINGLY pushed out
Most Nurses are a shade off doctors in terms of their indoctrination and disdain for anyone that questions their methods. Our health care system is quite sick.
As a nurse (who hasn't worked in three years), I totally agree. There are many, many, smug self righteous nurses in those ranks. Even with all the shortages I still can't work in my state due to lack of vax. IMO nurses should never go on strike and should be legally charged when they do.
Not being able to strike means there's no union, and if there's no union then we are in the same boat we've been in for 50 years - the hospital dictates what we do for shit pay and unsafe conditions. I'm not really advocating for unions or strikes, but I do know that hospitals treat their nurses like garbage.
Yep, the hospitals did the bidding of the CDC, government and Big Pharma. In tipurn they were rewarded for killing patients and firing employees who refused an untried, unproven safe, EUA shot mandated by the above. I want full disclosure of who in governmental agencies and hospital execs submitted to the Covid shot.
I don't know where you live, but where I live nurses are paid very well, and have great benefits. I also know that's not true everywhere. But going out on strike has serious and harmful consequences for the patients, so I stand by my comment.
Haven’t worked either. Then when I tried to work I was told you must have had X continuous hours in the past 2 years. So it’s basically grandfathered in only vaxxers
Fuck em. I had one agency calling me 7am on a Sunday begging me to work. Same agency said no to me last year. I’ve seen places offer 20,000$ bonus. They legit want you to now do 1.5 units for the same pay…… LULZ. I’m going to try North Carolina
Wow! I've been getting texts from agencies as well. Might do home nursing because one company will take religious exemption. The agency I heard from doesn't seem to care about continuous hours. Why North Carolina? It's getting pretty crazy here. I hope you (and I :) can get back to work soon.
Here? I’m in Florida…. Too much mold down here. I was sick for 2 years and still recovering. These doctors almost killed me. The air is too humid and terrible. Please tell me Charlotte isn’t terrible also…. I had a vaccine issue and refused anymore shots so I couldn’t take RN clinical so I stayed an LPN.
DM if you need to with any tips. I got my multi state a week or so ago. Cost of living is less. I’ll need an extra bedroom for my hyperbaric chamber and heat sauna. I’ll also be running some IVs on my damn self…. DMSO and methylene blue IVs. I revise to go into any facility right now. It’s aweful.
Sorry you've had such a tough time. I'm in the Northeast and cost of living here is ridiculous. If we didn't already own our house we couldn't live here. I'll be staying here. We nearly moved to Florida two years ago and I'm glad we didn't. I really like visiting Florida, but our family is all here, so we decided to stay. All the hospitals here and most of the long term care facilities are still requiring the vax, though a few nursing homes will take a religious exemption, and some home care agencies will as well.
Aweful.
If you and I pressured a patient into a medical procedure or drug we would be reported to DOH. But it’s ok to pressure your licensed workers? Not a problem.
I went to a church down there and the first thing they asked was where are you from. I said NY and they said wow. Everyone coming down here is from NY.
When I was in Mexico I saw a guy from Georgia who said folks coming down from the north east are causing major price inflation. The collapse of NY and CA are causing a major major ripple across this nation for people migrating.
I hope they get fired and have no health insurance to deal with their "vaccine" injuries. The stories I heard of how the "vaccinated" nurses treated the pure bloods were pure evil.
Hive mind collective…go make a tic toc of you dancing, go get a jab and receive an ice cream cone. I stand with Trump. Make the VA a national Hospital system - get rid of non-profit medical organizations
They took the jab and kept their job. Jabless nurses were fired.
Now the hospital administration doesn't have enough nurses, so they force the jabbed to now work in unsafe conditions. The nurses complain.
The hospital admin does not care about safe staffing or pt care. They just want their federal dollars, so they continue to maintain unsafe conditions.
The nurses organize a preannounced strike, weeks in advance. The hospital finds enough money to hire traveling staff to cover. But they don't have enough money to hire travelers to help maintain safe nursing ratios, or enough money to attract new permanent staff.
Where is this going to end up? Who knows. Hospitals are dangerous places. A hospital security guard was killed over the weekend in Portland by an angry father in the maternity ward. The family warned the hospital and the hospital response was to give the nurses whistles to blow if they see any trouble. Last month a nurse and another person were killed in Dallas. A few months ago someone walked into a hospital in KS and sexually assaulted three vulnerable pts. The list goes on.
The bottom line is that the hospital only cares about making money. Not about patients or about staff.
What do you think they asked for? They took the mandated jab, they lost a bunch of coworkers, now they are being forced to work short staffed, they are striking due to unsafe working conditions, and you think they should also have to work mandatory overtime in unsafe conditions? These are our fellow RNs, not hospital administrators who are asking for safer working conditions. All of this while the hospital pads the pockets of the administrators and CEO and whatever other shell non profit companies they own. I am interested in your view point - why do you think these nurses deserve to be treated this way?
You misunderstood my comment. I am a retired nurse. My point is they submitted like sheep to the Covid shot while hospitals and administrators profited by acquiescing to the CDC, Big Pharma and governmental demands. Instead of reading and researching, backing up their co-workers who got fired, they are now working short staffed AND being forced to also work mandatory overtime or on call. How many of them looked upon their co-workers with disdain when they refused to submit and were fired. Now some of those nurses, I am sure, had some vax injuries further causing a staffing crisis. What the hospital administrators and the public fail to recognize is their doctor spends 5-10 minutes with them in the hospital, but the nurse is there 24 hours. They are the reason the patient improves and is discharged. The value of nurses have long been downplayed and in a profession of mainly females, the male nurse is often given the management job. Nurses are not paid what they are worth, instead hospitals demand more and more of the nurse, increase patient to nurse ratios and then blame the nurse if patient surveys and scores are low d/t complaints of response time, lack of empathy, etc. Nurses can only give so much before something gives. In the ‘80’s the focus was on the patient, in the ‘90’s it became the focus on profit.
Did you even read the article? They are giving a month's notice of a prearranged strike for unsafe working conditions.

Hint…probably any of them that remained employed after all the chaos. Any executive that kept their job most definitely submitted.
I don't know where you live, but where I live nurses are paid very well, and have great benefits. I also know that's not true everywhere. But going out on strike has serious and harmful consequences for the patients, so I stand by my comment.
Fair enough. ps I live in Texas, some of the worst nurse pay in the country.
I'm in the Northeast. Nurses are well paid here. My sister in law lives in Virginia and makes about half of what I was making.
We've had some strikes here in Texas, in Austin. The main issue is staffing ratios.

That's a good idea.
I hope they get their Booster Shots before they congregate on the streets like that.
I hope they get fired and have no health insurance to deal with their "vaccine" injuries. The stories I heard of how the "vaccinated" nurses treated the pure bloods were pure evil.
I like your idea.
They aren't abandoning their posts. They are striking with notice.
Sewing and reaping. The outcome will be as bad as the seeds that they have sewn.
Hive mind collective…go make a tic toc of you dancing, go get a jab and receive an ice cream cone. I stand with Trump. Make the VA a national Hospital system - get rid of non-profit medical organizations
Maybe they should do a TikTok dance for more staff. FUCK THEM!
Consider these nurses' point of view:
They took the jab and kept their job. Jabless nurses were fired.
Now the hospital administration doesn't have enough nurses, so they force the jabbed to now work in unsafe conditions. The nurses complain.
The hospital admin does not care about safe staffing or pt care. They just want their federal dollars, so they continue to maintain unsafe conditions.
The nurses organize a preannounced strike, weeks in advance. The hospital finds enough money to hire traveling staff to cover. But they don't have enough money to hire travelers to help maintain safe nursing ratios, or enough money to attract new permanent staff.

Shouldn't they be twerking?
Exactly right. You asked for it, now deal with it, including mandatory overtime!
What do you think they asked for?

I understand your point much better now. Thank you for taking the time to write that.
My pleasure.
imagine one of these vaxxie sheep chopping you up and mid surgery having a stroke, then falling into your open rib cage face 1st onto your guts.
