Yeah, not a great choice I admit but besides the work obligations, my dumbass elderly parents didn’t evacuate and neither did my in-laws, one of which is bed bound and on hospice. I won’t abandon them. That being said I realize the risks, I have supplies and I do have experience with previous hurricanes, including Katrina.

I am not implying that staying is smart or a good call. Some people need to stay though to care for people who can’t leave.

Godspeed, doc.

Glad to hear things are looking much better in Louisiana. That seems legit to me.

That data might be legit. My hospital has seen a drop in positivity rate from 39% to 19%. Keep in mind LA blew up really early with delta. I am seeing a little decrease… that being said school has been in session for two weeks and I am sure we will see an increase.

I also know hospitals have been sending home anyone who could be possibly sent home before the storm so that will also make the numbers look “better.”

It's incwedibwe easy to suck my own dick.

I don’t know whether I’ve mentioned this before, but sometime around April/may 2020 I noticed a lot more helicopter overflights. Checking adsb exchange revealed that I’m directly under a corridor between two major cities in my state, and the traffic is almost entirely hospital-owned rotorcraft racing between hospitals for some reason. It slowed down slightly earlier this year, but we’re back in business now. Just had one zoom by at 1500’ on a return trip from what I assume was just a casual visit between health care professionals. :buddy:

LA moved from 90.4% ICU occupancy to 89.4%. It has basically bounced between these two numbers for the past 8 days. That said, it will drop this week as patients die when the hospitals lose power.

I used to do Payroll for a few traveling nurse companies - I'm not sure why anyone would ever want to do that outside of the money. The regular nurses all seem to hate them.

Everywhere I’ve been the staff nurses understand travelers are just working the system.

I’d you’re a traveler and you suck then yeah, you’ll be hated, but that’s nursing in general.

Nurses have incredible class solidarity and they all loving hate management. By far the most revolutionary potential of any group of workers.

I guess it was one hospital that really stuck out to me...I think it was in vermont, where all the travel nurses that went there claimed that the staff nurses would constantly discriminate against them.

On the flip side, I don't think the state of Alaska would exist without Travel nurses

I was going to go but she casually dropped last night that the friends unhealthy parents are anti vaxxers.
