Our local hospitals have lost on average over half their nursing staff in the last year, and hasn't been able to replace near enough of them. This was before vaccine mandates. Which is only putting more stress on the ones who stayed, and it's getting to where they are getting burnt out, having gone through a year and a half of COVID and now taking to the slack due to the shortages. No telling what's going to happen when the vaccine mandate kicks in next month for most of the nurses. The normal overnight staffing where my wife works is usually one doctor, 3-mid levels and 6 nurses. They've been down to one doctor and 1-2 nurses for most of the last month.
