They don’t hire “holistic” nurses, they have to be qualified on paper. Although, you wouldn’t know for as much as they refuse to get vaccinated and wear masks.

Many hospitals are going to start doing more remote nurses for intake and assessments, since people can’t seem to handle doing that themselves (peacehealth is piloting some programs now). The bad habits of the few are going to punish the many.

But yes I agree 1000% the healthcare system is broken as hell. And nothing will change until the people at the very top think, “if I put profit over people, my life might end.” That’s not even the administration level. It’s those conveniently hidden people who never get blamed.
