The rapidly escalating surge in COVID-19 infections across the U.S. has caused a shortage of nurses and other front-line staff in virus hotspots that can no longer keep up with the flood of unvaccinated patients and are losing workers to burnout and lucrative out-of-state temporary gigs.

Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana all have more people hospitalized with COVID-19 than any other point in the pandemic, and nursing staff is being stretched thin.

Sadly, that is also a constant condition in the Nursing profession. Four year degree, damn hard test required for license. Crappy pay compared to many other fields that require less education.

Why aren’t they saying if they took Ivermectin or HCQ and they’re still having to go to the hospital. This was they could say that these prophylactics don’t work.

Wonder if these states have mandatory vax in their hospitals?

Exactly, I know two nurses who stated their Covid units were shut down due to nurses quitting because of mandatory vax requirements. Fact. Many hospitals have reduced their patient load because of lack of staffing . This is what will happen to many companies, the military, and possibly .gov agencies. I suspect they know what these mandates will do- create mayhem, gut the military, hamstring hospitals, and much more. Wake up America.

I was expecting to see a list of hospitals with the number of cases, number of nurses authorized, number of nurses present, number of nurses short with pictures to support it. But all I saw was a biased generalization of the authors opinion rather than any facts.
