Here are two lists of many, many hospitals that have instituted vaccination requirements and the resulting number of employees terminated for non-compliance:

Seems to typically be about 0.5% to 1%, occasionally 2%.
Especially if they are clinical staff: good riddance.

I think it's more likely that they can't afford to take the classes (either not having the tuition, or having to work longer hours due to inflation), and/or they're reading all the horror stories about clinical staff suffering endless abuse and in some cases physical assaults from patients, their families, and virtual 'gangs' of anti-vaxxers.
The story about the redditor who was treating a dying patient whose family refused to put on masks so they could visit (and ended up removed from the hospital by security) was particularly memorable for me. The doctor went to the trouble of meeting the family in the parking lot, and for their compassion ended up sucker-punched in the face and waking up on the ground. Security wanted them to press charges but they declined because they were afraid of harassment by gangs of anti-vaxxers organizing online.
That is why people don't want to be nurses. Not because of a vaccine.
