Gosh, who would have predicted that?

Oh, yeah...me.

I was livid. Like, how dare you force me out of a career that I’ve dedicated my whole life to, taken away my livelihood, my ability to earn a good income, and now you think I’m gonna come grovel back to you?” Poland said. “I don’t hardly think so. And that’s the attitude of most everybody that I’ve been in contact with since yesterday.”

Explain how this makes any sense given it was a state mandate.

I guess to someone like her “the man” is “the man” and she just doesn’t differentiate.

Religious exemption.

They handed them out like candy canes in the rural hospitals down here.

[Mik]

The state did not fire them. The hospitals did. If I were a nurse I’d feel unsupported too.

[jon-nyc]

The state forced their hand.

It would be one thing if Governor Mills were asking them to come back. Then her sentence would make sense.

[Jolly]

May not be that way everywhere, but down here the nurses have zero loyalty towards their employers.

On second thought, zero may be too high of a number. They are way passed pissed.

1. Did the state turn down her exemption request or did the hospital?

2. Did hospital administration even attempt to dissuade or advise against the mandate? Or conversely, did the hospital embrace, promote, or even advise the state to adopt the mandate?

3. How exactly did the hospital treat the nurse on the way out?

Forced their hand to prevent her taking on shifts, or forced their hand to fire them?

@LuFins-Dad

Fair questions.

Then...fuck 'em. Tell the governor to staff the hospitals.

If I read Maine law correctly, they removed the exemptions. Take it or else.
