this stuff i'm hearing on the news about pregnant women having to go to another hospital

50 or so miles away to give birth because of the shortage of nurses because of their refusal to get the Vaccine and quit their jobs because they don't wanna comply with it being a lawful mandate to happen , wtf ! so hire new nurses not reluctant to get the vaccine , whats the problem or the holdup ?

Maybe that's the problem???

Nursing isn't one of those careers where you can just pluck a replacement off the shelves. It takes years for a new nurse to qualify out of med school... I don't think you'd be impressed to learn that the person looking after you in hospital only joined yesterday and hasn't had even basic training on hygiene and infection control.

@HootyTheNightOwl my guess is with the Virus around its the First thing they're taught

@FurryFace It still takes years for them to qualify... those qualifying today started their journey three years ago.

Back then, we didn't see Covid19 coming, so we didn't recruit enough staff to take the pressure off now - or we already let them off the final year of their studies at the beginning of the outbreak...
