That is at just 1 hospital. That never occurred to you?
Many other hospitals in Houston don't mandate vaccines. BTW, it wasn't 150 nurses. It was 150 hospital employees and this could mean kitchen staff, cleaning staff, billing staff, IT staff, building maintenance staff as well as nurses aids, nurses. The nurses are in such high demand that they could have nursing jobs in other area hospitals within 24 hours.
Most of the nurses worked through the busiest Covid period when there were no treatments or jabs, many got Covid.
No common sense on the Loony Left.
No common sense on the looney left? We're getting vaccinated, which is hugely successful at preventing death and serious illness from covid. The return to lockdowns, increased deaths, everything getting shut down us being driven mostly by many of those on the right refusing to take a shot. Just like they pitched a fit about wearing a mask. The left is right on this one.
It's not good that they quit. We don't want medical staff to quit because in the end of the day it's only going to hurt the pt's. At the hospital I work in we have avarage of 10 to 14 hours wait time in the ER. That's insane. We are so short staffed in the radiology department that people are quitting because of burn out. Who is suffering? The pt's.
So no, it's bad all the way around.
Per the bold, base military hospitals are comparable to the civil ones in the aspect of ER wait time.
Nurses probably know better just how worthless or, potentially harmful, this garbage vaccine is.
A vaccine that doesn't prevent you from getting or transmitting said virus, made with experimental technology that has failed so often even the FDA (you know, the guys that rubber stamped all of Monsanto's carcinogenic pesticides) won't take Moderna's money to say it's good.
When I hear stories like this I get visions of inept dictatorial hospital management and employees that feel suffocated underneath the weight of it. It's similar to how anyone who follows wrestling notices that if the wrestlers go from WWE to AEW where they are given much more creative freedom, they all seem so much happier in real life like a big weight was lifted from having to work under Vince. Chuckle.
Inept so called "smart people" will cause the system to collapse. They need us more than we need them. The more they try to push to control and micro-manage our lives.
The number of nurses who quit due to the vaccine requirement is a drop in the bucket. Texas is bringing in 2500 health care workers. Lots of nurses will come down as travelers from other states as long as hospitals are willing to pay and provide adequate staffing.
Do you realize that Texas has a shortage of 23,000 nurses? 2500 is not going to make a dent on that.
There are 23,000 more unfilled jobs in Texas for registered nurses than there are nurses seeking to fill them, according to a labor analysis by the Texas Workforce Commission.
Some will figure out ways in which they do not have to play the game. Others will play the game, because they can't figure out the ways not to play ...
Yes, totally agree.
I have a few elective surgeries I am going to get in the next year to 18-months...........I doubt
they will happen without me getting the vax.

The OP's example had 25,000 people get vaccinated at that medical center, 150 did not so yes nurses and doctors know that the vaccine works. Maybe you didn't know that over 93% of those ending up in the Texas hospitals are unvaccinated, if they wanted to help out then they could simply get the vaccine.
But continue on with the failed technology, you don't make any rational sense fighting against facts. I guess the solution is to hire more nurses because people don't want to use a free vaccine to protect themselves.

Did you read the OP's article? NO EXEMPTIONS, not weekly testing option. The Pfizer article you cite indicates they can undergo weekly testing if they choose not to be vaccinated. Not, take this or be fired.
Nursing shortages have been cyclical for decades. Up and down, up and down. There's been a recent glut of nurses, difficult to get jobs up till covid hit. Naturally, nurses are leaving acute care now and LTC, hotbeds of covid.
