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.

I understand your point much better now. Thank you for taking the time to write that.
My pleasure.
