I think the med-surg nurses that moved to COVID units are having a tougher time with it than unit nurses. It was a big transition from almost never calling a code to calling them on a regular basis. Add to that the increase in PPE, learning new skills on the fly and with many of them adding a lot of extra hours and you get a lot of burnout. Most of the cardiac nurses my wife deals with did their time and aren't remotely interested in going back to a COVID unit.

In the ER last week. Doctor and nurse both said they issue was the covid restrictions on staff being the problem. They are normal busy but they can't staff because people have been let go or someone tests positive with no symptoms and 6 people have to go home. Front desk had 5 people sitting 3 feet away from each other, two cleaning ladies and two check in nurses.
While checking in my wife they had to shut the door of a room where a doctor and two nurses were being loud and cutting up.

Yes it does. Stick to the narrative.

There’s a lot of burnout but it’s not Covid related. It’s constantly being pushed to do more with less. It’s because of unrealistic expectations from consumers. For example: family members who get aggressive because you can’t save mama. They refuse to correlate that fact that mama weighs 350 lbs, smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, and despite having diabetes, eats a gallon of ice cream nightly.
As someone said earlier, the Covid patients are not very difficult to care for.

Addiction medicine physician. No I am not ready to quit by any means. I still enjoy doing what I do to help people. But I will share that every day I see people with multiple decades of sobriety who have had relapses due to the shutdowns and governmental overreaches that have occurred this year. It is very sad.

Went to the doctor today for routine visit. Him and the nurse both said they are sick of all the Covid bullshite and the media trying to scare people.
Both also believe that the mass hysteria is all political.

I get tired of all the people who think it’s a hoax and then getting behind
A keyboard and patting each other on the back for their stupid jokes. But mostly I’m tired of taking care of Covid patients in the ICU who don’t get better. Patients who are sick and we don’t know what to do with them. There is no real medicine or treatment to help these people when they get that sick. They are still figuring it out.
My ICU is full but most of them are not Covid patients. Hospitals are seasonal. Slack in the summer and picking up in the fall/winter. We are full early this year. Why I’m not sure.
We have gotten patients from Lake Charles(understandable), Alexandria and hospitals further north. I’m not sure why.
I’m curious. At what point will there be enough illness and death for you to take it serious or to believe that this is not a hoax, or at least something to take seriously. Do people have to dropping in the streets? Do you have to lose family? Do you recognize that at that point it might be too late?
Or do you feel it’s your right to ignore and do as you feel no matter what?

Still one of the safest jobs in the United States and it pays well.
If they want to quit kick them right the frick out.
Not enough pats on the back for being a "hero" aka doing one of the safest and well paid jobs?
Boo hoo

No one is saying it's a hoax, or that it should not be taken seriously. What people are saying is the government response to a virus that is only dangerous to the elderly with comorbidities is absolute bullshite.
Livelihoods are being destroyed in the name of "feeling safe" for those that the media are able to whip in to a fear porn frenzy. This virus is being presented as being much, much more deadly than it really is for purely political reasons.

My business is down about 30% this year and I had to lay someone off. I understand Covid is not ideal for the hospitals, but being burned out from working too much OT is a hell of a lot better then being in an industry like O&G going into work daily hoping to just finish the day.

The only way I can cope with all the death is to make more tik-tok videos.

You make me sick. It’s obvious you are envious about their salaries, but that’s what happens when you are educated, you get paid well.
