Anyone watching this?

Over 15,000 Minnesota nurses across 15 hospitals 'overwhelmingly' sign off on labor strike

I saw something about travel nurses being offered up to 9K a week to go there.
Nurses are telling the scabs not to break the picket line!!

So the patients will be screwed twice, less care and higher costs, sounds about right for how the rest of society is functioning right now.
Peeps, you might want to learn some basic medical care.

Also once these groups get a taste of the power of protest it doesn’t go always, —Cough Cough Cough Illinois teachers Cough.

'Mornin JS....saw this today. Me being within that gen field, you and I know this: Those 15,000 nurses? I guarantee you 1,000%....that for whatever grievances they have....?

That's 15,000 "angels" who rather be working. Their hearts command it of them.

Whatever they want, need from society...we should give them.

Thanks here to all nurses everywhere👍

Nixon changed the 'not for profit' health care law opening the door for his good friend and founder of Kaiser Permanente to become a prominent player, and Obama weaponized health care.
We went from our family GP who took care of everything to highly specialized experts that only focus on one area of the body. Each specialist requires outrageously expensive testing, and even with a low cost Med Advantage plan, the copays with quickly sink the ship should your health require their services.
The end result of the ACA is one of the biggest, most deceptive money grabs of our times, IMO.

The US healthcare system is becoming just like the US Prison system by focusing on profitability.

Burn out
Stress
No one wants to go into any medical field now

Those still in work longer hours for the same pay.

Hospitals are bleeding out money.

Larger influx of illegals who don't pay bills.

Anything else?

I know a few that quit. It’s a hard life and I don’t think many can shake the stress that comes with it.

Hospitals are bleeding out money.

something is happening because I’m getting all kinds of messages to make appointments.
My doctor is normally always booked.

❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

Nurses said the core of their negotiations focused on short staffing and retention, which they said are driving overworked nurses from the profession and damaging patient care.

“Corporate healthcare policies in our hospitals have left nurses understaffed and overworked, while patients are overcharged, local hospitals and services are closed, and executives take home million-dollar paychecks,” said Chris Rubesch

The medical field got us used to the fact that we may not be able to get medical care when we need it. I remember when people with serious conditions were left untreated, so they could max out their returns from the covid scam. Hospitals were empty and everyone at the hospitals seemed very happy doing their tik-tok videos with choreographed dances. I think a lot of people lost faith in the medical field and now it doesn't have the same lure it once did.

Including giving the jobs back to unvaccinated nurses and doctors.
We need them now more than ever!!!!!

Great point.

a reply to: DontTreadOnMe

Yep. You got that. I see the"need" perhaps, but not forced, demanded from one's freewill.

My wife is an ER nurse and manages the ER. The problem is that they throw the nurses down every chance they get. They like to give lip service on how important they are (which they are) but when it comes to actually supporting them the hospitals and gov't are completely Fkn them.

The issue is multi fold and existed prior to covid but covid made it even worse.

They told nurses that worked in the frontline since day one of covid when very little was known about covid to basically Fk off if they got covid and to use their own vacation time to recover.

The reason why they said it was justified for the nurses to use their own vacation time was because the hospital took such great measure to protect the staff that it was highly impossible for the nurse to get covid in the hospital which was completely bs. Not only did they not protect the staff properly but they even encouraged them to reuse masks and not get fitted for the masks due to supply. Yet all the doctors had properly fitted masks. The nurses do not have a very good lobbying voice .

Also another nice Fk you to all the frontline nurses that took covid on from the start and put themselves in dangers way without anyone really knowing anything about covid at the time not only never got hazard pay. but then the same gov't that called them heros started to call them aholes because they didn't want to get vaccinated. So they were good enough to be there from the start unvacinated but now they are aholes for not getting the forced jab.

Then you had the recent nurse that got criminally prosecuted while the hospital ,doctors, and gov't policies took no blame for the faulty system.

The hospitals are also dangerously under staffing ER and overworking nurses. They even tried to get the nurses to basically do janitorial type services while also tacking care of emergency patients.

Then you have idiotic policies and executive managers that prefer to hire seasonal or traveling nurses for double to triple the pay than give a little more to core nurse staffing. Since covid allowed for remote schooling many nurses said Fk it why would I work here at this rate as core when I quit and work as seasonal or traveling rates.

The issues go on and on and having seen the battle my wife has to take every day against the executives to protect her staffing I can't blame the nurses for going on strike. They need to strike and they need to get a national lobbying group together that does a better job to protect them and their job duties.

They are completely being abused ,understaffed , overworked, underpaid, and its putting patients at risks but the hospitals have successfully kept it all under wraps.

what needs to happen is patients need to lawyer up when a family member dies or gets severely hurt and they need to go after the hospital and start asking questions about patient to nurse staffing ratios.

Hospitals are bleeding out money.

From some of the hospitals I have seen that my wife has worked with , I'm almost convinced that a lot of them are embezzling or laundering money due to the idiotic decisions made by the upper executives.

First of all screw the unions and the union reps and stewards that sre saying don'y cross the pickett line.

Sure just screw over people who meed care even more.

I know a lot of nurses who were able to become travel nurses and still remain unvaccinated and they've been making bank.

Goes to show you who the real heros are. The ones who stuck to their principles and did what they could to take care of themselves and still be able to take care of patients.

Not the ones sticking it to the patients and refusing not to work. These nurses are probably the ones who bought into the all vaccination at all all costs just to keep their jobs and now their reaping what they've sown.

a reply to: JAGStorm

same, that's weird.. i am confused as to what's happening myself.. since i see it's happening to others.

a reply to: AutomateThis1v2

Yeah from what i've seen most 'good' nurses bailed and found other ways to take care of their patients.. so your probably right on point, these that are remaining are the one's that sided and forced those other people out of a job. By not standing up for each other and allowing manipulation to occur.

I like you have no sympathy for those nurses. They should shut up and get back to work, because what they are going through to cause them to riot and protest is EXACTLY what they earned. They should of stuck up for each other, when they went 6 months into a pandemic with no vaccine and didn't die after being constantly exposed to a virus that did nothing to them. Which was the reason why those other nurses didn't want to take an experimental shot. They saw it all first hand.



But you know it's not just doctor's that are turning their backs on each other. Social workers with kid's are going through the same BS. All the lockdowns etc kept kids in abusive situations, and left them with no place to put kids. Many Social worker's actually stopped caring what happens to kids because there was no longer nothing they could do.. So it was easier to just stop caring. While i'm not claiming ALL social worker's stopped caring, I am saying there are reports of the MAJORITY that stopped looking out for children in these places.


Thousands of kids were actually murdered in abusive situations over the past couple of years. Yet you won't hear any report on that, it's all "covid".
Then there's hundreds if not thousands more being murdered and labelled 'covid'. This is going on both sides, in fact it's almost a competition at this point to see which group gets more dead kids.. 'covid' or 'vaccines'. Records for these kids in the abusive situations are falling through the cracks, no one's doing the paperwork. No one is protecting them, the entire system is falling apart. Most of these agencies are in sheer and utter chaos. Don't believe me ask around.

It's over.

Minnesota looks like another blue paradise state primed for a fall.

There's this and there is the news that the teachers' union there can fire white teachers first and not hire you as a teacher unless you affirm CRT and similar.
