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.

Hint…probably any of them that remained employed after all the chaos. Any executive that kept their job most definitely submitted.

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.
