This one is more of a shortage because all support staff got fired and duties lumped on nurses without increasing staff levels. Add back 4 medical/nursing assistants per floor and there’s not a shortage anymore, because nurses aren’t making beds, doing vitals checks, and grabbing water anymore.
There’s not a nurse shortage.
There’s a nurse shortage at the current wages and working conditions.
And the fix shouldn’t be to put patients at risk.
