I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is many.
The thing is, this hospital is proving that they put profits over pt care. Travel nurse companies have a minimum contract of 3, 4, 5 days. But travelers are never as adept as staff nurses. They don't get much, if any, orientation; they aren't familiar with the hospital or their systems.
So for the hospital to not let the staff nurses come back in order to complete the traveler contract is exactly what the staff nurses are complaining about - the company puts profits over patient care.
Can you imagine being in a code while the traveler runs around to gather supplies? This hospital also has a big L & D unit - imagine how that's going.
I didn't realize you're a healthcare worker! RN?
Thanks for your polite response. I agree with you that these two documents don't comprise the whole continuity plan and don't explain how the military is in control, or how the government is under a COG. They are a part of the picture. They have to be read within context of Laws and Orders, UCMJ, Military Justice Act, Executive Orders, National Emergencies, Law of War Manual, etc. Have a great day!
I am not Secret Service, I am a Registered Nurse. Transporting blood requires a specific protocol unlikely to be met by that satchel. A simple internet search would educate you, before you demonstrate your lack of knowledge and willingness to be foolish publicly.
Have a good day.
I haven't read that. I know that there are 41 National Emergencies still active, including the 9/11 emergencies.

But Federal Continuity Directive 1, placing the US under a COG, was signed Jan 17, 2017 (I misquoted that above) and Federal Continuity Directive 2, replacing FCD 1, was signed June 13, 2017.
I worked as an RN in a jail on a Texas border town. I was not smart enough to not to that job 🤨 at that time, but anyway, jail guards are not smart and inmates are extraordinarily manipulative. I actually received training on how not to have sex with inmates, bc that is common with jail nurses. The reason I got that job is bc the previous nurse manager was caught having sex with an inmate, which is a felony, bc inmates are considered property. Anyway. So a cartel asset higher up got jailed in that facility. The camera "malfunctioned" and he slipped out the back door to Mexico. Later he was caught, and gave up the guards and the warden who assisted him. I only lasted 5 months at that job. I'm dumb but not that dumb. Culture of negligence is a standard in jails.
yes, it is. And hospitals are so used to just treating the staff any way they like, and nurses have been just taking it for so long. It's good to see these nurses standing up for themselves. I don't work in a hospital any more, and this is part of the reason. Nurses just leave the bedside, or go to travel to make money and have appropriate breaks between assignments. So maybe some changes will happen. I'm always hopeful that our health care will improve, from Pharma to health care staff, to facilities and treatment!
