Let me get this straight. Your Title," Special Kinda Of Stupid Nurses being replaced by FEMA nurses" is calling the nurses that refuse the JAB, a Special Kinda Of Stupid . Many here would find that title repugnant, ignorant repulsive and disparaging. I have read enough of your OP to see your nefarious agenda. Good Day!
No genius, a comma is missing from OP's title, but it is obvious their intent was to call the situation in which unvaxxed FEMA nurses replace nurses who were fired for being unvaxxed a "special kind of stupid." Whatever agenda you discerned from casting runes on the thread title sure as hell demonstrates you failed to read any of the OP beyond that title. Judging a book by it's title is a special kinda... well, you know.

I read the linked article. No where in that article did it say that FEMA nurses are less experienced and require more training. I think you misunderstood what they said about FEMA training. This is what was actually said:
FEMA nurses are also trained differently than the hospital’s normal staff.
“We put them on an expedited training system and they learn as they go," Bredimus said. " Whereas our normal process, we have a nationally recognized fellowship here that usually takes months."
My wife is a nurse and has done travel nursing. My interpretation of that quote, using my wife's experience as a travel nurse is quite different. Every hospital and facility is different. Anytime a new employee is hired, they usually get training on the system. Computers, reports, supply chain etc. It's different at every hospital. When you need a travel nurse (or a FEMA nurse in this case), it's usually because of staffing issues. They don't have time to give you a 2 week training period that most new employees are given. They need you NOW. As a travel nurse, my wife never got more than an hour of training at a new facility, usually less. She got the basics of their charting system, whether it was electronic or paper and was set loose. She 'learned as she went along' on things such as identifying patients, names of staff, where to find supplies, etc.
That is a far cry from your claim of FEMA nurses being less experienced.
Read my second post. In order to do their jobs they actually have to be better than your average nurse. They have a special skill set. They have to be much better at problem solving. I can't speak for FEMA nurses but travel nurses work through an agency. The agencies vet their nurses a lot more thoroughly than any facility. If you knew what my wife had to go through to become an agency nurse ... My wife has been told by multiple facilities that she is the fastest and most accurate nurse they've ever worked with. Meaning, she gets med pass done quicker than their staff nurses and without making mistakes. She can complete a med pass on time with a heavy patient load without mistakes that staff nurses that are more familiar with the facility can't handle.

That still definitely makes them a lot more prone to mistakes.
