Either way I suspect we will start to see a much higher no show rate for nurses, CNA’s and EVS. Particularly if there is a known case of Ebola in the community. We need to figure out how to staff and take care of patients with this new reality. And with flu season fast approaching as well. This could be the event that breaks our health care system
We live in interesting times. It's going to be a long, difficult winter for the health care industry.
My youngest daughter is a CNA and she is worried about this.
She has a 4 year old.
Yep.... Once we either designate certain hospitals as “Ebola treatment centers” , care at other hospitals will be limited to non existent ... Forget that triple bypass , that emergency appendectomy... Or what have you .. No beds available .....
This is assuming that our government even has the sense to quarantine within the hospital system ....
Good luck recruiting anyone to treat Ebola pts now ....
What a freaking mess ... and it was all preventable
Really kills me because as a health care provider. We are constNtly urged to be pro-active and stress prevention over all else ....
Wasn't that the job of nobamacare?
Maybe that’s the plan with these Marxist overlords. The faster they destroy the entire healthcare system, the faster they will get government take over of entire healthcare system. Never let a crisis go to waste (and if no crisis..make one).
We are so screwed.
