PPE was a solution before e.u.a for the vaccine is all I’m saying,I feel it’s important to be vaccinated being in the healthcare field, but I reserve the right to critique those who’ve been there from the beginning to have to make a decision if it goes against their moral compass.I’m referring to working in the hospital,obviously your not going to walk around gowned,masked and safety goggles. Sorry for the confusion…

We have identifiers that are placed on our badges that let patients know their nurse is vaccinated.And that info is shared through internal communication. But it’s none of my business…It’s awfully presumptive and judgy on this forum reminds me of why I got off this..

No one said the vaccine would offer complete immunity only protection from severe disease.You have a higher likelihood of catching Covid from an unvaccinated person than one vaccinated because antibodies.Do a little more research.

It’s the ultimate set up for failure..don’t let it get you down,go after what makes you happy!You are worth more than what you’re putting up with! I’m with you and in the same boat..

I would hope we continue on the path of supporting each other,solid points when different perspectives are thrown in it becomes blurry.The vaccine does seem to work as stopping severe symptoms (6mos) which I am well past that and it sounds like our anti-bodies have dropped.So we are in a lot of trouble if some haven’t and some only had 1. But yea the Israel thing is unsettling for sure! Are we delaying the inevitable? Maybe more focus on symptoms? I’m rather burnt out and ready to transition but to what?…#hatethiscovid Kudos for sticking it out 40 years!Im so done!Put a fork in me!LOL?

I feel like it’s been created to divide us further,and I agree if you choose to not vaccinate that it not my buisness however,because we are in the field of taking care of vulnerable people we have an obligation to protect them from becoming sicker.Particularly when dealing with children who are unable to vaccinate.

I’m happy to help!?

I feel it’s a ground treaded lightly because OSHA stated that companies are liable for bad reactions…

That’s true,the vaccine doesn’t prevent infection,it keeps you from getting sick enough to be placed on a vent.There are break through cases, there is 72 hours of incubation before you have symptoms and are most contagious.And 90 days of shedding virus.You’re at higher risk unvaccinated and catching Covid and getting severe disease,based on pre-exhausting health conditions. That’s what I’ve learned so far..But everyone has their own perspective.

So very sad,I’m sorry for your loss..

That sounds like something I’d like to do!Was it hard to do. counseling?Do you get certified?Im so burnt out!

It’s dysfunctional workplace get out while you have a your sanity! I loved where I worked but after 2 years no sick call and going non stop I finally made a mistake.I should’ve seen it coming,it wasn’t fatal it was human but against policy…sigh do I quit or wait to get terminated..

Approx, 800

Around 800

Yea read the reviews from staff 1 star...turned that down in a heartbeat!

The trend Im noticing is in the Outpatient clinical setting they are hiring M.A.'s Sooo thats leaving the L.V.N.s for LTC or Home Health or Psych. There are still options but very few its all so frustrating...

Home care agencies are a dime a dozen and.basically do the work.of supplying cases via government agencies like IHHS and regional centers.They carry the liability too.So the acuity can vary with each place.Im considering a job at a 'Active living/Memory" But Ill be the only nurse for 30 patients other than 3-4 caregivers.Should I ask to meet my team before I start?Lol!The total in the facility 167 they say I wont be in charge of the others..hmmm

Okay so i just accepted.but havent started at Assisted living/Memory Care brand new fancy schmancy..and this a new role for me,Ill be over 3-4 cnas and have 30 patients..its for profit and they claim its not a SNF it active living.so the acuity isnt the same?Im getting nervous reading all these posts...Ive been home.health for.agencys some.of those are sketchy too..

Thanks so much for your feedbacj,I was curious because I work in home health and a small.agency,I asked a couple of nurses and they do not carry insurance.Thanks again!

I was wondering if anyone carries liabilty,a few nurses I spoke to say they dont,but I always feel its important to safeguard your license these days working in Home health you never know.So I was taking a consenses of how many actually do and what your thoughts are?

I had the same thing happen...6mos before tenured benefits.It happened to a couple if empliyees,So stressful!Im glad to be out of that hell hole!Thats the game now so they dont have to pay benefits..Just be glad to be out of there and move on..

Unless youre approaching 50 then you are phased out and replaced with M.A.s by the larger hospitals...
