A reminder for those concerned about hospital capacity and staffing

Ochsner, Louisiana’s largest medical system, forced much of its staff to take mandatory vacation every 2 weeks. Why you ask? Because many of them weren’t needed due to lack of procedures and patients.
So when JBE or Redfield spout off about lack of staff at hospitals or hospitals being close to full, remember that it’s bullshite. And these companies are forcing their staff to take time off rather than come to work because there isn’t enough work to do.
PSA over.

Thanks for the useless info.
I believe you 100% but in grand scheme of things it makes this BS hoax nothing more than what it is.

They’re probably stopping elective procedures... so there isn’t work for those nurses. ICUs & Covid floors are absolutely slammed where I work.

What is the most frustrating thing to me is that if we had a Democratic President right now, we would never have heard of the china virus. It would maybe be mentioned every month or so as a "bad flu year" and nothing else mentioned.

No they’re not

Are they still being forced into vacations?
I didn't need to fill up my vehicle in May; but I'll be damned things changed and I had to fill it up this week.

You can’t take a med surg nurse and throw her into the ICU with no training and experience, but the mouth breathers here will lap this up.

Yes. They have at least one more pay period to complete. No one knows yet if they will continue the program.

But you can make a med surge unit a covid unit
Not critical of course. This was not meant to say you're wrong

I guess training them was out of the question when hospitals were supposed to be preparing for surges?
Posted on 7/21/20 at 7:57 pm to ell_13
They'd have to want to be trained

I mean there are MULTIPLE parts of the hospital, no?
The 16 bed ICU all being taken up, requiring a full ICU staff means its at capacity, requiring critical care physicians/fellows/residents/RTs/RNs is one side.
The ORs aren't all being used, so they're making the circulating nurses and surgeons/anesthesiologists, etc take off

Well that and the company was hemorrhaging money.

Every RN went to school, Baw. They may have a specialty, but they are smart. Treating 100 patients for different illnesses is hard. Treating 100 for the same illness makes the learning curve less steep.
TLDR, I'm not buying that. They know how to work a bi-pap machine.

No time for vacation when there are tiktok videos to be made

As long as my life isn't depending on it.

Is every person in the hospital for COVID an ICU patient?
