Nurses raise staffing concerns at UC Davis Medical Center

A year and a half into the coronavirus pandemic and things are nowhere near slowing down at UC Davis Medical Center, causing a strain for staff that some say affects patient care while others believe patient care remains unaffected. "We are busy. We're busier than we have been probably ever because of the combination of COVID patients and people who have delayed care and now need care but are coming in sicker," said UC Davis Health spokesperson Steve Telliano. Nurses said it is taking a toll on them. "Since delta kind of hit the Sacramento Valley in mid-summer, it has really changed everything," said Jenny Managhebi, a registered nurse who works on UC Davis Medical Center's cardiology floor.

How about the Nurses that are quitting over the vaccine mandate.

All hospitals are short nurses and have been for years. The problem is now the hospitals turned single rooms into double rooms for covid, increasing the number of patients that can be admitted, which is making them extremely short. Requiring the vaccine to nurses is also going to cause a bigger shortage.

Well it goes for every job you work in. First you complain because you don't get enough hours you get them oh I'm working too much we all complain regardless

The nurses are finally earning that ridiculous salary they receive. Before Covid, nurses were all about working extra shifts and now they’re complaining.
