I'm a travel nurse, and I'm in Maine right now. I'm at the last "big" hospital before the western wilderness, so we get a lot of the ski and winter sports trauma (broken legs, ect). We do have a sister hospital about 40 minutes away, but they don't do trauma. However, they deliver babies.
All of their nurses walked. Every single on of them. So now we are doing twice as many c sections because that hospital closed. And the governor extended the vaccine mandate to October, but when that comes, the operating room here will be the charge nurse and me (done in Nov). Two hospitals that help actual poor, underprivileged, and undeserved communities won't be able to offer surgical and birthing services because of this mandate.
But they'll tell you the hospitals are overwhelmed due to covid. They're not, they're overwhelmed because they've fired all their competent staff. They're overwhelmed because the nursing homes have no more staff, so those old folks are taking up hospital beds because there is nowhere else to go.
THEY are manufacturing a crisis.
Yup. I just started an assignment at a little hospital that is mandating the jab by October 1st. Literally half the staff will be walked out, since they are all refusing to quit on their own.
I'm torn, I have documents that allow me to keep working, but I kind of want to quit in solidarity, haha
Code monkey Z is also on Gab and the link will take you there. The video is set to drop at 8am AZ time, which is 11 am for everyone in the eastern time zone with me. Fingers crossed its something good!
Lots of fools are posting their vaccine cards online, just swipe theirs. Fill out the type of vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer for 2 doses, J&J is only one), and the lot number. Moderna is four weeks between doses, Pfizer is three between doses. There is also a return date to fill out on the back that should correlate to four or three weeks out. The nurse fills in the vaccine info but the name and DOB can be in your handwriting. The right most square is where you got it, which could be Walgreens, the name of a hospital the name of a school, the name of a public health department, you name it. There isn't anywhere on the card that needs to be signed by a health care professional. It's not unreasonable to have both doses in the same handwriting if you "went" to a place with fewer staff, but I would switch it up or even use a different color pen. Stickers have kind of gone by the wayside.
Some states, MI for sure, submit paperwork to their public health department, so if anyone wanted to look you up in MICR you wouldn't show. Be aware of that. There is more documentation than just the card.
What is DWAC?? It's everywhere and I don't even know what it stands for
