I heard from a nurse that one of the hospitals in Illinois removed the beds and redesigned the room and turned it into a meditation/ de-stressing area, then they claim they are running out of capacity. I mean... it's important to de-stress in a high-stress job but I thought they already had those types of areas. I heard from another nurse that she had 18 patients at one point, a completely unsafe ratio but a way for a hospital to make money paying fewer people. These hospitals are just about the money, they don't care about either patients or their employees. So they fire staff or some people quit either due to mandates or unsafe staff-to-patient ratio and then they claim they are overwhelmed. Something needs to be done about it. Patients will suffer as a result.
