Nursing shortages are a nationwide issue for a few reasons.
1) Many are traveling now so only going where the money is. Many hospitals can’t afford what these travel nurse companies can demand now
2) many older nurses after the last few surges said “frick this” and retired early
3) nurses at bedside worn out from surges either left bedside for other nursing jobs or left the nursing field completely
4) those still at the bedside that worked overtime the last few surges are still at the bedside but have said “hell no” to working extra shifts again cause they are worn out
This isn’t just for nurses either btw. Other groups of workers in hospitals facing similar issues (surgical techs, respiratory therapists, nursing assistants, central sterile techs, environmental services (housekeeping), etc)

Aren't they already short staffed?

They have given themselves 3 months to staff up for those who won't stay. They will be fine through this wave.
Doesn’t sound like they actually have a shortage then. Sounds like they’re lighting the gas from both ends.

Well, if they aren't short staffed they are paying out the arse and nurses are making bank off their bluff.

There is plenty of vaccine to go around last I heard.
Where do you think the push to vaccinate everyone is coming from?
The pharm. companies produced more than we wanted and now they are sitting on a stockpile that they can't sell unless its forced on us.

Quit arguing semantics and just say you're scared to take it

Once this vaccine gets full approval the anti-vaccine group will say the approval is not good enough.
Yeah but those of us who don’t like being lab rats will get it. I’ll get it the day it’s approved.

If they are short staffed they wouldn’t be threatening to fire employees. Glad we’ve come full circle.

All of this would make sense if they hadn’t been clamoring for more employees yesterday.
They have to quarantine employees who test positive, which means they are losing that productivity until they can return to work. '
There is also the chance that people leave the job because they don't want to get the vaccine. Which means that they are losing the productivity of those employees.
Both cases negatively impact their ability to treat patients at full capacity. They've evaluated the potential risk for each decision, evaluated their own employee data that we don't have access to, and arrived at the conclusion that they'd lose less productivity by requiring employees to be vaccinated.
Just because you don't agree with the conclusion they reached doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense.

My honest thought is that we will probably learn that booster shots are needed and once that happens the chance of getting non-vax people onboard is over.

I’m not scared to take it. I’m just choosing not to take it. Same choice I make yearly with flu shots.

The government already contracted to buy the doses they are "sitting on".

Your theory is that they should keep the guy on staff that causes more trouble than good because he is a warm body.
Not saying you are wrong, but they have chosen another option.

If they’ve evaluated the risks and determined the best way forward, why bother holding a press conference to tell everyone you’re short staffed and need help?
Seems like a simple statement of, “We have realized our problems and have a plan in place to address them” would have sufficed, no? Instead, we got pure horseshite about this being the “darkest hour” of the pandemic.

That doesn't necessarily mean they are selling as fast as they thought. I also thought, and might be wrong, that the vaccines had a relatively short shelf life.
