I am sorry , but this is stupid .
I don’t know what type of nursing this girl does , I assume nothing critical or trauma , but nurses have 101 options when it comes to employment , this is not even laughable , that’s sad she complains .
On these days , when minimum wage folks and folks who depend on tips , and small business folks are in despair , we , the nurses , we have nothing to complain . Besides ppe , I can assure anyone , when a nurse gets terminated for any reason by any employer , there are two more jobs for her b4 the ink dries on the seperation paperwork
Nursing agencies are begging daily w emails for 14 weeks contracts , as near as 50 miles of residency ( local contract ), or another stare ( traveling contracts ). An average contract pays 3k a week for 3 12 hr shifts , 75 dollar a day for food , your housing , even dog care . And recruiters offer sign up bonus as well , New York is a 10k right now just to show up .
I am sorry . I feel sorry for all my grocery store workers who are into this for nothing , and the waitress and waiters who are sitting home w 600 bucks a month .
Elective surgeries are back as well in most states , so her shity employer will need nurses again
In my hospital and all it’s branches we haven’t laid off anyone than travelers and contracts . And they weren’t crying either . Their agency sends them to the next one . Just a state south
Not qualified nurses to work w critical care and cardiac care issues are been used to task at oncology and mother / baby units , and no overtime allowed for them , but at least they get their 40 hrs a week .

The nurse on this video should be damn thankful that she did not had to see more than 9 pts of covid “, and then get her self a great contract somewhere else . Worst case , if she is not on demand / no critical care , she can always get a well paid job at rehab or nursing homes in her area . I can assure anyone , no shortage of nursing employment options , only shortage of nurses everywhere .

We have r problems and we are in danger daily for what we do at work . Sure .
But we ain’t “ heroes “, and we knew that when we were becoming providers . We ask for ppe , not medals . I have took care of plenty of TB b4 , meningitis , SARS , measles , name it . That’s our job . Covid is no diffent when it comes to our fears and anxiety . We are anxious to get short on ppe , not on money .
Nurses are well paid and we know it . If u are a nurse , especially w some experiances and u are not making money , then I am sorry , u don’t know what u doing .
The one thing that I am embarresed most in my career is exactly how much money we are making $$$$ , and how easy is to have employment choices . In short , I don’t understand what her problem is , or y she can’t fix it .
Feel sorry for the ones who are in fields that unemployment is going to be their friend for awhile
