New York health system to halt maternity care after staff resign over vaccine mandate

Those ignorant health care providers, what do they know?

As a peer I do not agree with this professionally but employers and everyday members of society should not be taking them from 'hero to zero.' I worked earlier this year and last year in a COVID ICU and until I received the vaccine, everyday I was at risk and so was the immediate members of my family. I signed up for this and still enjoy it everyday but everyday it was a concern of mine that any of us nurses could get it and die. Neighbors stopped letting their kids play with mine because I am a nurse, told it to my face. It was a rough period and if the public is going to turn on RNs this fast then it could become a rough time for people to get healthcare. When I graduated in 2003 the average time a nurse stayed at the bedside was five years and with the increased push for RNs to have bachelors, opportunities outside of bedside care grow. Universal healthcare will not happen without more, not less doctors and RNs. In summary, treating skilled and educated people poorly will push them to find another occupation to be successful.

Bye bye. Ya know that thing about the door...............
