Serious question.

Is there even a healthcare worker shortage right now?

All I see is videos of bored nurses dancing in empty hospitals on instagram and tiktok.

Nibba 107 points ago +109 / -2

Fuck no there is not. They are getting their hours slashed. One person I work with frequently normally leads his dept and has been reduced to wiping down elevator buttons to stay on the clock. There are others that I normally see all the time that have just been not around for weeks. It’s brutal. I’ve asked them how it’s affecting them and they all say they have had to cut back to make ends meet.

Can verify, have some friends and family in hospitals that are working shorter hours because there is almost nothing for them to do. Meanwhile there are people that should be seeing their doctor and are potentially at risk because MSM has them too scared to seek treatment.

Seriously how don't people see this implication in the defense of excess immigration. If those are all doctors and engineers swimming across the Rio Grande, isn't it selfish of you to deny Mexico and Central America their best and brightest? Why do you hate Central America pro-immigration people?

I always thought it would be better to deport people to shittier shitholes than the one they came from.

If we deported to Saudi Arabia that would stop a lot.

SwampSwan 3 points ago +3 / -0

Same. I work PRN, so hadn't scheduled anything for a couple of weeks around Easter. (Family time!) I called our Director to let her know I'm available for emergencies when all this started. I don't want to go in when it's like this, but I would if I were needed.

Since then, in texts and calls with coworkers I've learned that their hours are slashed drastically, some of the newer hires haven't gone in for weeks. Hard to believe - we're a pretty big hospital in the area. We are a specialized dep't, so that accounts for some of it because routine procedures are off the board, but still...wtf.

lifeisahologram 67 points ago +69 / -2

That's what the shortage is about. They don't have enough healthcare workers to fill out their dance ensembles.

They need so many nurses for back up dancers. They also desperately need more surgeons to fill out specialty break dancing roles when they cover outdated 2013 hip hop songs, that they think is cool and relevant, but young kids dont even know.

Our entire city has been on lockdown (SF) since well before the rest of the nation. Supposedly because if Covid spreads, the hospitals will be overwhelmed. People are posting photos of empty hospital parking lots, and a week ago the story came out that our healthcare workers from UCSF are now flying to NY to help out there. And we’re all still on lockdown! Some think “for the next two years.” It is totally insane! An experiment in authoritarianism.

TwoPlusTwoEqualsFour 1 point ago +1 / -0

I believe I first heard of this from Mark Passio www.whatonearthishappening.com on one of his podcasts. The thing is though, that they are probably correct in that doing so does actually negate some of the karmic consequence. In this way (as they see it) it isn't actually all their fault, because they were quite open about their intentions.

I haven't looked into the hidden hand (Illuminati whistleblower?) much as of yet.

You won't starve to death, as you can have your groceries delivered, but you may drown in your bathtub, according to my models, so I am banning all baths until we can be sure not one person will ever drown again.

Agreed, but I have to have a job to pay (in advance!) for my groceries to be delivered which is more the point I was making. No work - no income - no food (for most people, anyway.)

You wouldn't starve to death in MN. They are giving "free" food away everywhere. But you will have to leave your house to get it. Uh-oh! Do you stay in your house and starve to death or leave your house and get the Rona Virus and die? What a dilemma! :)

I can't make that decision, it's too haaaard. Maybe someone will come tell me what I should do. If I lived in NYC Cuomo would rather I killed myself than step outside. If I lived in New Orleans, I'd be out having street parties in da hood.

AlohaChris 4 points ago +4 / -0

Don’t forget those that couldn’t do or teach. The least competent people go into managing, and once you’ve had a ‘manager’ slot, hospital administration thinks you can manage anything.

I had a fat Karen for a boss who had managed a Pediatric Med Surg floor. Some rocket scientist in administration thought she would know have no problem managing a large, busy OR. They literally gave the job to someone with no surgical experience.

4
SwampSwan 4 points ago +4 / -0

I don't mind training new Residents, nurses, or scrubs in the OR but I'll be damned if I'd even try to train an OR Director on the fly, ffs.

In our OR we'd just operate without her & work past her - no time to deal with that. Luckily we have a fantastic DoN, she's an old nurse (about 75) with bleached blonde hair and blue eye shadow, smokes like a freight train and altho she's only about 5'4", she's a freakin' bulldozer.

She's always on our side when it comes to policy, but expects us to do the right thing. Everyone from orderlies to surgeons just love that old woman. She's forgotten more about nursing than most of us will ever know.

Tonightm01 37 points ago +38 / -1

America is not alone in far-leftists using "Healthcare workers" to piggyback illegal immigrants onto. Been doing it for years.

The simple fact is health care workers from other countries come legally and through the proper channels. As they are people that respect rules in general.

Regardless, immigration legal or illegal needs to be stopped dead. Millions of Americans are out of work and many more will be out of work in the months to come.

DJTrump 1 point ago +1 / -0

It needs to be stopped for decades, like in the past. We've already let in orders or magnitude more than the total that came through Ellis Island in all its history. That's unacceptable.

Which is the same as the old normal. We are approaching the pre-1965 mass immigration perspective.

The cabal made several moves in the 1960s.

One was to open up mass immigration.

stormdraintrooper 11 points ago +11 / -0

Low paying hospitals have shortages. Unless they are religious affiliated, then some work for the cause, but not many. Of course some of the metro areas like NY have had staffing shortages. This is nothing new in health care. Some seasons are just fucked. This one a little more so due to the PPE situation. PPE is a huge pain in the ass to wear. It's tiring, uncomfortable, hot, and tiring. Makes some claustrophobic. I got used to it doing a lot of procedures, but nonetheless, wearing for 8, 12, 16 hours? Nope. You lost a lot of staff hours just for that.

There's no damned shortage. Hospital censuses are down almost across the board due to people not wanting to go. No electives of course. I have a friend who is a call center nurse (hell) for one of the health-care Giants. Their call volume is even drastically lower. It was extremely high volume at the start of The Media Panic. This call center has 60-70 nurses during the daytime. Nighttime unknown to me.

Deport all of them, every last one of them. The United States has got to stop giving amnesty every few years. We gave amnesty in 1986, and we gave amnesty again with this DACA situation. No one gets deported anyway, except hardcore criminals. We need to start deporting every last undocumented immigrant.

LostInTheMix -5 points ago +2 / -7

DACA is a very conflicting topic to me. My gf is DACA. She's been here since she's been 6, almost 20 years now she's lived in this country. Wasn't her decision. She works full time and supports Trump much as anyone here. She's as American as any of us but some people are so restricted in their beliefs. Either one extreme view or another. We are both for ending DACA, but to deport these people who've been here their whole life, to a place where they have no home, is ridiculous and tells me people who believe that are stuck in their own bubble much like the left.

Grief 8 points ago +10 / -2

Great story, you sound like a liberal who argues with emotion instead of facts. Too bad her parents broke the law. You can either marry her or she can go back. Deportation isn't the only option.

What I have heard and I would like someone in the industry to confirm, is mostly personnel from long term care facilities or old folks home. Low pay, relatively low skill jobs. Lots of immigrants work there. In Canada, in a few cites, the armed forces were called in (medical pers) to assist as a lot of workers got either scared or infected and old people were abandonned and died in those homes - the staff got scarcer and scarcer as the caretakers got contaminated and the staff level dropped.

Janitors hired through 3rd party service providers under contract to the US Company. Because of discrimination laws, it would be very difficult to find out if that 3rd party hired contractor is legal to work or not. And more than likely with some basic stolen/borrowed/lent/leased paperwork, they are "legal" from the standpoint of an inquiry from an endpoint account.
