Frontliner, 11 year veteran RN, in the Emergency Department. For the last year and a half, I have been exposed to so much Covid I feel I'm so blessed. I have had it splash in my face, eyes and mouth. I have taken antibody test and just can't seem to test pos for any antibodies ... which rules me out for an asymptomatic "Super Spreader!" If my employer mandates the Covid Vaccine I will be looking for RN jobs that do not require the vaccine. I'm employed in North Carolina but willing to travel for Jobs that do not require the Vaccine. It's my body and my choice. This thread is for links and discussion of RN jobs that do not require the Covid vaccine. Stay safe all! You could die tomorrow from a drunk driver. So don't fear death, I do not, and you should not either. Fear what happens after death.

That's not an option when the opposition can just keep suing because the coffers are bottomless. I'm not sure that any hospital would close because of a single lawsuit but even suing is kicking someone while they're down. Religious zealots will never create intellectual space for scientific inquiry. Unvaccinated nurses and doctors don't belong in health care...period. The fault lies with the people who refuse to vaccinate because they chose to work in a profession that requires it. It's not the job of the health care industry to protect the religious rights of zealots. We are here to protect the patients.

A better comparison sentiment would be going into nursing if you had an incapacitating phobia about blood or bodily fluids.

I’m well versed in the positions and ideology of the left on this forum and how absolutely positive that you all are that you are right about everything, so I see no point in any further discourse with you. The only thing I will say regarding your position on the unvaccinated is that it’s not your decision whether they belong in healthcare so you’ll just have to deal with the reality that many are still there.

Don't you wonder though, why those previously vaccinated health workers suddenly discovered a deeply held religious objection to a specific vaccine during a pandemic?

I doubt a hospital would close but even world class hospitals run the risk of financial demise and being swallowed up by for profit chains like HCA with subsequent reduction in patient services and employee wages and job satisfaction all for wanting to keep vulnerable patients from harm and employees healthy. I really wish people would stop flogging the fetal cells issue as those cells were from five abortions (2 spontaneous) and kept immortal by cell culture none of them will ever become a baby and leader (the Pope) of biggest objectors to abortion the Catholic Church issued an encyclical that states The Greater Good is best served by vaccination against Covid 19 and other infectious organisms. BTW those same fetal cell lines have been used to test safety and efficacy of everything from vaccines to Tylenol and toothpaste.

Of course they close, that was never a question. The inference by another poster was that the hospital in the article would close because of the lawsuit.

They close because of loss of money through massive lawsuits, lack of government, personal and insurance payments etc...They don't close because of an excess income! Siphoning off money in lawsuits is just a hospital closure waiting to happen in the current economic climate.

Hospitals are businesses as much as any other and all businesses run a risk of financial demise for one reason or another.
Have your opinion about abortion or fetal cell lines but what I wish proponents would stop flogging is the idea that the pope or any other religious leader speaks for all Christians. I realize that historically most, if not all Catholics would staunchly hold to any proclamation made by the pope but that is no longer the case. Likewise with any other well known religion, their “leaders” do not speak for everyone in their particular denomination. Christians of any denomination have minds of their own and are full capable of determining their own beliefs and having their own convictions without being told what to think or believe by a pastor or the pope.

So? 20% is way lower than most other attorneys get. “The class-action settlement rate of 33% is far lower than the average of 67% in federal courts. Even the trickiest federal cases involving constitutional questions settled at a higher rate.”
The sentiment about “religious freedom” is as ridiculous as the sentiment that some have that nurses shouldn’t be nurses if it’s not a “calling” and should not be concerned about making decent wages.
