There are plenty of ICU nurses looking for employment all over the country.
And ironically due to lockdown, lots of nurses being laid off/furloughed.
And there is field hospitals for covid being dismantled because there is lack of use.

- disgruntledphd2 6y agoDude, those articles are from May and June, respectively. This is an eternity ago in pandemic terms. Now that the US essentially has cases everywhere, there are not, and will not be, enough ICU nurses for all the cases.
- matz1 6y agoIt at least show that it possible to increase capacity if needed. The issue with the way case number calculated is, vast majority of the people are either asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms. How do you figure there will not be enough icu nurses?
