every hospital system is handling it differently, few are cooperating.. MOST are doing OK, some are doing great jobs ( I think the big ones are),
Some are awful, they have a toxic administration, they dont care about the workers, they are understaffed and in a poor area, they have poor infrastructure and bad, incompetent providers in the ER and ICU, often not formally trained in those areas. Priorities all out of wack.

The administration is not involved, not understanding, not PAYING, nothing is changing.. your going to continue to work there? at some point you say Im out, you guys have to get your ish together, and in the meantime they can divert somewhere else who does,. not every facility has been able to maintain control, but wont admit it
