describes our plight. My wife's a nurse at Lumina in Corvallis that is called. They lost their nursing mgr and three nurses who wouldn't get vaccinated. One retired, the other three found other jobs. They can't replace them so new dying community members can't get on hospice. Lumina and Evergreen, the two largest local hospices, are not taking new patients until the patient loads get balanced again. My wife's been very stressed and it's sad for the patients they turn away.
