Are they receiving lawsuits from people who were fired for not taking the vaccine?
Are they shutting down before the Trump admin starts releasing evidence based on the long list of adverse reactions and deaths associated with the vaccines and the expected lawsuits that will follow? Health care workers across the country were pressured to take that vaccine with the threat of being fired.
I signed a vaccine declination form along with many others in my dept. I feel that because we stuck together and refused, the hospital had to accept our declinations, the other option was to close the hospital. The ICU's cannot function without my dept, the safety of every patient would have been at risk if they tried to fire us.
I think this is the tip of the iceberg and what we see coming in the near future will be much more profound.
I know all about the staffing issues hospitals are having right now. People stopped pursuing college degrees in health care out of fear of having to take care of people with covid.
People retire and there are very few people coming in to fill the empty seats. Just last night they were refusing ICU admissions because they didn't have enough nurses. People in the ER that needed ICU level care, unable to come up. We have empty ICU beds, just not enough nurses.
The staffing numbers in my dept have been cut in half. Some days we are covering the entire hospital with 3 people when several years ago we had 7-8 people.
They are not hiring full time employees, they are hiring agency and contingent staff. People they can cut loose at a moments notice.
We changed from a non-profit organization, bought by a for-profit organization, so over time they have cut every dollar of overhead to maximize profits. People are getting burned out, picking up overtime shifts because they feel guilty leaving their coworkers to flounder. People are leaving for better hours, better pay, better work assignments. Word gets around about the work environment and people stop applying for positions. It is all in a downward spiral.
As I sit here and type this, I see a nursing degree ad on the television.
I'm a semi-retired LPN, and worked mainly in long term care (very problematic due to nurse to patient ratios). Been getting job offers via text from hospitals who previously only hired RNs. Nurses here are very burned out, overworked, and discontent. I'm not going back to nursing.
Still watching. I’m not familiar with the laws, but someone mentioned the nurses are required to give 30 days notice. Assuming that’s related to patient safety, it does seem odd a whole wing/unit can close with 2 weeks or less notice for expectant moms to change plans.
