Too many folks to tell to get back on topic so I'll say it again here. DID not come here talk about vax, anti-vax, masks....[Bjust my experience][/B] seems to be different than many nay-sayers. We did have to wear the face-cloth while in the public areas but once in our room, we did not. The staff all were following the "rules" in that. The care was truly great! One thing I noticed was all my nurses were male---one even (ER) told me he used to be a paramedic and still had that qualification. They all were exceptional. I was also told that the travel nurses (ER) get paid mucho-bucks. The short-staff issue (according to my one nurse) was that it's impossible to find replacements of CNA's or M.A.'s as they could make more staying home. So some left and that spot is empty. VERY evident in the E.R. Poor nurses were chasing themselves and all the while keep smiles on their face. A lesser person would not. Would I love to go back...probably not again soon, but who does at this stage of LIFE???? I'm just thankful for ALL who put in the time and many don't appreciate it---or it doesn't seem so.
