'If you choose not to get vaccinated, your choice does not just affect you. COVID patients need an incredible amount of hospital resources which makes it more difficult to care for all patients.' How COVID affects ICU operations:
found that 21% of all health care workers"moderately or very seriously" considered leaving the workforce, and 30% considered cutting their hours.As ICUs fill up, the effect multiplies throughout the entire hospital. “One thing that no one is talking about is the fact that our supply closets are wiped out,” says Brunson. “We’re trying to troubleshoot around that. We’re also still rationing PPE [personal protective equipment], after all this time.
Abraham says that often today, emergency rooms must hold critically ill patients. “Emergency care doesn’t stop for that,” she says. “The patients are still coming in. There’s less monitoring, less titration [adjusting meds], and in some cases, sending ambulances to other hospitals.” “That’s never a good thing because it leads to delays in care,” she says. “Critically ill patients go to floors without specialized staff, and mistakes can happen.”“Nurses are quitting or moving to less stressful settings,” says Brunson. “Many are becoming traveling nurses because they can make a ton of money in a short period of time and then take a break.”
In spite of it all, both Abraham and Brunson hold out hope for a brighter future in the nation’s hospitals.
