Why would they be tested if they are asymptomatic? I don't believe that health care workers here are regularly tested unless they have symptoms.
The were exposed to a direct contact who is. And that pretty much takes into account most who work in the health care field and deal with the vulnerable.

So .. I was reading the reddit thread on this .. there were multiple health care workers who posted that .. in their field, a 90 day "notice" period was common practice. So yeah, on the one hand, workers can quit any time. On the other, a mass exodus without "regular" notice is severe and likely hurts the health of the public in the area. -- This isn't an ice cream shop shutting down.
There was a group of people who were upset when there were lockdowns because folks who needed healthcare were able to get it (evaluations, elective procedures, etc).Today, there is a lack of available healthcare resources due to unvaccinated taking up significant resources such as some areas/hospitals stopping elective procedures.But I haven't heard the same outcry.
A lot of the lack of Healthcare can also be chalked up to the amount of nurses who have quit over pay and conditions. Hell a hospital attempted to force employees back to work through the court system instead of paying an actual wage.I know 7 nurses over the past 2 hears who have quit for better paying travel nurse jobs. After my workday today I'm thinking about it as well.
I think it is wrong to assume that more pay will make nurses return to jobs that burned them out.And frankly, I am not sure I would want to be cared for by a nurse who is only working "because they paid me a crap ton of money". Most nurses I know didn't get in it for the money. And most of the ones that left didn't leave because they weren't getting paid enough.
Holy Christ, this is a horrible take.If there are two professions in this entire country that are horrifically underpaid it is teachers and nurses.They quit because they're chronically abused by society. You know what makes it easier to put up with abuse? MONEY. Imagine being treated like a servant and getting a bunch of money... sucks, but people put up with a lot more if they're being adequately compensated. And then think about what is actually happening, and you'll better understand the crises. What #UK here is going through is absolute hell, and he and his staff go through it for terrible pay. Telling him that he (or his staff) don't deserve what they're worth is incredibly tone deaf.
Sez da guy hoos payin' minimum wages, hey?
Funny. Meriter has a postings for RN jobs. Minimum pay is $77k. That don't seem like chump change to me.
That's about 50% of what I pay software engineers
*Chicago vs Madison *1 year experience requires for the nursing jobs. I'm guessing you aren't paying a new college grad a buck fifty.*Other points made by Wags. Other than that, good post!
