Massive Shortage of ICU Trained Nurses During COVID-19 Pandemic: The Need for Cross Training
I attempted to cross train to the ICU at my old job at a 550 bed trauma center. Over 3 years working Surgical/Trauma/Telemetry with some of the most complex SICU patients, 10 years as a nurse total. I was told from HR that "it says you don't have enough experience." They just hired 14 new grads for their ICU. Why don't they just say ADN's don't count since we are a Magnet Hospital. Remember this was an internal transfer.

Nursing check-in: How are your numbers???
I was traveling. Contract in Kansas was cancelled in end of March d/t low census. Went home to South Dakota and am on unemployment. Finally got a new contract this week :). As for the numbers in SD, from what I hear from old co-workers and see from from observation. Small amount of cases. SD never had any sort of Mandatory lockdown either. When I got home in April it was business as usual in the states largest town. If you watch the news, you see a very different picture than what I have observed.
