BS. Hospitals are becoming short staffed because people are quitting or getting fired left and right. It is THIS that will create a huge nursing shortage. These people are liars and deceivers. It takes a long time to train an ICU Nurse and the patient to staff ratio by NEEDS must be smaller for ICU.

Once Xiden mandates vaxxes for Nursing home workers the quit rate will be even hire and the whole healthcare system will collapse NOT because of "covid". Newsweak is full of sh!!! There are entire floors being run bare minimum with travel staff. I know. Don't buy this stupid BS.

quit rate HIGHER (not hire) because there will be no one to hire. Frustrated staff will quit when they are so understaffed they cant do the job. Nursing care is a difficult and very physical and thankless job as it much less while being understaffed.

I work for a home care agency desperately needing more nurses and aides. All their new people foreign born, communication a real problem. And yet I don’t see advertising for staff. You would have to pay more money and they have insurance and Medicare capping reimbursement. So they are trying to use our duty and compassion to wring ever more hours out of us.

Big teaching hospitals hire American born BSNs, and some of them are begging for enough hours to receive benefits.

Every other facility is increasingly relying on foreign born staff, nursing homes have special wings for foreign born patients, Korean, Chinese, Indian, with staff and patients sharing a culture and a language, ethnic cuisine. You can’t ask for the American wing, because it’s full of Caribbean and African staff.

God help you and your lived one if you run afoul of an autocrat Indian doctor on his turf.

Business model: immigrants are cheaper.
