@wrigonato @buckkbob We’re staying at the hotel right next door. A lot of police there rn and no one allowed in at the moment but no confirmation it’s a shooter yet
@Rinkimekufu1@AnnaKelly47@DeptVetAffairs@guardian@Aaron_Glantz I’m a VA employee involved in direct patient care, we receive emails daily about policy changes so everyone is on the same page. This has never once been mentioned. Can’t prove it because it doesn’t exist and if it did many of us would quit.
@matrixescapee65@SenSanders How so? You think sending vets to private sector competing with everyone else would be faster? I literally work at a VA hospital how can you say I’m full of shit?
@matrixescapee65@SenSanders Sounds like a good plan, until you realize that having a hospital dedicated only to veterans gets them the care they need faster than private sector. I use the VA for myself and can schedule appointment same day or walk into the ER vs waiting hours to be seen in private sector.
@KeeperofReal16@SenSanders Im a VA ICU nurse. I can confirm the hiring freeze includes us. We are short staffed with one new nurse coming this month that is no longer coming and have a nurse who is transitioning to a new unit that no longer can due to the freeze.
@matrixescapee65@SenSanders Hello, VA ICU nurse here. Yes, there is a hiring freeze. We are currently short staffed and had one new hire coming this month that is no longer coming due to the freeze and we also have one nurse who was transitioning to another unit that no longer can due to the freeze.
