That’s a shame @robin. Now, more than ever, we need people like you in healthcare.

I’m trying to hang in there. Its difficult. We are working so short staffed. I work alone every night and we are supposed to have 3-4 nurses on overnights. Staffing shortages are everywhere and i don’t see it getting any better any time soon. I’m going on a mini vacation soon. Maybe Ill feel different when I get back

I just dealt with that personally a week ago. One of my in-laws was in a car accident, vehicle totaled, and I/we spent a great deal of time at the LARGEST hospital in the state, and you could see the impact of what you are talking about.

I think we’re the same in Australia with a lot of nurses leaving.
I live in Western Australia and read today that the nursing union is taking the health department to Fair Work Australia as our nurses are getting flogged to utter exhaustion.
Apparently there’s numerous cases where nurses are working literally 24 hour shifts where their agreement states they can’t work for more than 12 hours straight. Nurses are only human and can’t be expected to do their jobs safely if they’re falling asleep on their feet. It’s outrageous and obviously dangerous for their patients too.
A daughter of a work colleague qualified a year or so ago and is apparently feeling it. I was shocked to be told she is only given one uniform a week which she has to wash herself.

Its crazy.
We show up because we care about our patients… However, its too much. Every single nurse that i know wants to walk away. Every one.

And they get around that by saying “well you agreed to do the shift” because that is actually allowed, if you agree to work above and beyond the agreement, it’s on you.
I had the same issue working in hospital admin and being short staffed. It’s shit and made worse by this situation.

That’s a shit situation to be in robin, I’m sorry that that is the case.

As a patient of specialists I see the same thing too, understaffed whether due to "covid"or lack of vaccination etc (mandatory here), staff only seem to have energy to push you through the process and nothing more.
I do not blame them, this has gone on too long and is unsustainable.

I hope you are able to have a proper break and really decompress.

My mum was a nurse all her working life and even back then I saw first hand what it took out of her. I have the upmost respect for nurses and have always considered it a vocation and far more than just a job.

I had an operation a couple of years ago resulting in staying overnight. The nurse that dealt with me was not long qualified but absolutely fantastic. The poor woman was dragged from pillar to post all night long but kept on smiling. And there truly was some obnoxious entitled dicks there too.
Before I was discharged I rang my wife and she brought this nurse a scented candle up as a thank you when she picked me up. Her face was a picture looking like we gave her a million bucks or something!
I also made a point of praising her highly on the form I was asked to fill out and post back.

I am biased but even though my mum is long gone and this woman was young enough to be her granddaughter she actually reminded me of my mum.

Some has turned into many over the last few years. The poor young girls cop plenty worst patients are the 20-30 year old male I get away with it most of the time. Being 120kg helps put them in the place.

Confidential Pfizer document (393 pages) shows the company observed 1.6 million adverse events covering nearly every organ system.

  • 73,542 cases of vascular disorders, many of them were rare conditions.
  • Hundreds of categories of nervous system disorders totalling 696,508 cases.
  • 61,518 cases of eye disorders which is unusual for a vaccine injury.
  • There were over 47,000 ear disorders, including almost 16,000 cases of tinnitus, which even Mayo Clinic researchers observed as a common but often devastating side effect early on. Link here.
  • There were roughly 225,000 cases of skin and tissue disorders.
  • There were roughly 190,000 cases of respiratory disorders.
  • There were over 178,000 cases of reproductive or breast disorders, including disorders you wouldn’t expect, such as 506 cases of erectile dysfunction in men.
  • Disturbingly, there were over 77,000 psychiatric disorders observed following the shots, lending credence to Dr. Peter McCullough’s research observing case studies showing psychosis correlating with vaccination. Link here.
  • 3,711 cases of tumors – benign and malignant
  • And of course, there were almost 127,000 cardiac disorders, including many rare disorders, in addition to myocarditis.
  • There were over 100,000 blood and lymphatic disorders, for both of which there’s a wealth of literature linking them to the spike protein.

@Dardy it’s funny (well, not funny), but interesting how this is ALL still coming out, and what, 6 months, a year ago, that would get you banned, unlisted, mocked, de=platformed, or more. Go figure. I had heard about the numbers, but never saw that document. Thank you for that.

Bro’, it’s winter time down here at the moment and we’re still getting government adverts on TV (saw one not 30 minutes ago before I jumped on here) encouraging everyone to go get their booster shots. FFS, I thought this was all done and dusted but no, it seems not :confused:

That sucks. But sadly there are thousands more that are not reported.
Glad I stayed away from that mess
