I’ve heard anecdotally that a rather large percentage of working nurses opted not to get the vaccine. We’ll see if this trend spreads and if it does, will those nurses all back down or will we see an exodus?
I have a close friend in senior management at a large hospital who reports the percentage of nurses, not just at their hospital, who won't take the experimental treatment is greater than 50% and isn't changing.
I can't tell you how many refused or wanted the Vax.
I was asked twice if I wanted it...said no twice.
I had the 19 way before...anyone talking about the Vax.
I'm up in the grills of so many people....Yeah I wear a mask...and at one point a simple mask and a N-95 too.
I ain't taking the Vax....
“I’ve heard anecdotally that a rather large percentage of working nurses opted not to get the vaccine.”
My wife and a SIL were active RNs all of their adult life for up to 50+ years. So, they still have a lot of contacts with RNs. They are hearing the same thing from about 50% of those RNs. “No Vaccine for me or they just got one and returned to work.
An adult Grand kid just became a new RN. She and 40 to 50% of her RN peers and docs in the same age ballpark (20-late 50’s) are not opting for the vaccines. They are in good health and have no horrible lurking diseases. Also, more than likely they got an early exposure to the virus and are now immune.
About the same is happening in our military. About 40-50% are saying, “No vaccine! We are healthy, we live and work in close quarters and probably had this crud and are now immune.”
We are in the process of having a lot of outside repair done on our home and have had up to about twelve, 20-40 age guys with no vaccinations working on the outside. We are seeing/hearing the same thing from them, “No Vaccination for me, and/or I probably had this crud last year or this winter/spring.”
Basically all of our relatives, friends and peers including us (ages 75-85) have been vaccinated, and we are still alive and enjoying our getting back into life.
A mass exodus of nurses will result in unnecessary deaths due to hospital negligence! Prime time lawsuits! From victim reps AND nurses!
“I’ve heard anecdotally that a rather large percentage of working nurses opted not to get the vaccine.”
We have gotten that from new RN’s and ones who have been around. If they are mid 50 age wise and under with no great health problems, they are not getting the vaccine.
About 50% are saying no now.
They know the stats. So, they and many of the docs in the same age group are saying no.
About the same % of our active duty military are saying the same thing. . With close living and working quarters, more than likely they had a mild case and now are immune.
More than likely in the last year plus, the RNs and Military probably had a mild case of Covid 19, and God vaccinated them at that time.
