[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the Post article. 1/3 of American nurses have kids under 18. I'm one of them. If my kids can no longer go to school/aftercare who is going to take care of them so i can work? I can think of dozens of colleagues in the DC area who will be in their same position. We cover summers with camp. but there won't be camps run in place of school. I honestly i can't afford to pay anyone to take care of then 40 hours a week in my salary of $40/hour. So very quickly I'll quit as will dozens of nurses i know. [/quote] There will be other nurses without kids who will pick up your shifts, including school nurses and those who are dailies.[/quote] Not the OP but if it’s one thing this whole COVID mess has taught me is how utterly clueless people are about how nursing in hospitals work. It’s like the fool who said nurses would be ok because we run on adrenaline. Most hospitals are already short nurses. Childless nurses aren’t going to just pick up our shifts. You people live in such a bubble. School nurses don’t know crap about acute care nursing. Nursing is pretty specialized. [/quote] The pro-full-closure posters on this thread are so privilege-blind that it's shocking. Let them eat cake, indeed.[/quote] I think a lot of the posts are coming from one person. Bored SAHM I’m guessing.[/quote]
