Massive Nurse Shortage Hits Houston—Weeks After 150 Unvaccinated Nurses and Hospital Workers Fired

Shepherd and her colleagues may be disposable in the eyes of hospital administrators, but they are perhaps not as easily replaced as she or Houston Methodist thought.

Two months after firing unvaccinated hospital staff, Houston Methodist is one of several area hospitals experiencing a severe shortage of medical personnel. Media reports say hospitals have “reached a breaking point” because of a flood of COVID-19 cases.

Agreed. The point of my post was to emphasize the unreasoning hatred the left has for anyone that disagrees with them.

Do a simple Google search on Filipino nurses in USA.
Filipino’s like big cities and warm weather. Cities like LA, SF, Chicago are their preference. Yeah in N Dakota you may not find many.

@laura gile I have been experiencing muscle twitching for nearly seven months now. I have found ways of controlling but not stopping it. Nights are the worst when I feel as if my entire body is vibrating. This has been an assault on my nervous system.

Magnesium supplements, co-enzyme Q 10, and black passion figs which are high in potassium and folate seem to help.

Nightly oral CBD oil and a few sessions of hyperbaric oxygen have also offered some relief. We must keep hope in our hearts.

Very concerned as the number of times I’m seeing it in our clinic is too frequent to ignore. The last was a young woman in her 20s who is now deceased within a couple of days of the Pfizer. There is not enough transparency neither do I believe data is being collected let alone shared. A data repository is necessary but this idea of stifling information sharing is unacceptable.

Worth repeating daily

White Hut and CCPCDC not mandating vaccine on their employees.


I suggested to a couple of posters/friends - who are HC workers, and, these shots are being mandated - to tell the above to their bosses.

FWIW

You want to bring in foreign workers to replace Americans who are standing up to tyranny?

I know an ER nurse and at this point she is getting double time for anything over 36 hrs a week plus $1K per 12 hour shift.

We must destroy woke companies no matter what they are. I am ok with hospitals also going under if they need to.

That’s how it works under communism ... the Democrat/Left Party’s wet dream. They’re not quite there yet but they just can’t help themselves from overreaching; this is their great weakness which can bring them down ... now!

Wait until YOU are in hospital, God forbid, with some serious ailment, and you will not care about the national origin of the nurse or doctor helping you. But you will be disgusted if there is no nurse out there.

// So why every hospital in USA has a bunch of Filipino nurses working there?

Same reason so many companies hire indian ‘programmers’. They don’t really give a damn about the work product.

And those companies are richer than you! If you had better smarts, you could be running a company and hiring only natural born citizens.

// Well, they did punish those unvaccinated employees, which was their #1 priority. So, they achieved their #1 priority.

Sorry, no. While that was probably a small part of it, their actual priority was to make sure that they could scream about beds shortages. They refuse to mention that the ‘shortage’ only exists because they don’t have nurses to serve them, not because the beds don’t exist.
