@foundryrat743 Wow do I agree. I do think Covid had a lot to do with it. I was recently hospitalized and I asked each nurse how long since they had graduated. All of them...ALL... had only been a nurse for 1 year. I think many caring good nurses left because they became fed up during covid. They saw what was actually happening, and could not longer be a part of it. So now we are left (many times) with book learned inexperienced young people who are in it for the money.
