    2 years we have been at this.
     

    nursing programs are less than 18 months.  Are you telling me those can’t be significantly compressed?

    Ah good, you missed the entire message.

    The limitation to having prn nurses available to treat COVID patients has absolutely nothing to do with the length of nursing school.

    No idea why you would be pissed at this post.  It’s actually supportive of healthcare workers.  Y’all have been shit on.

    It is a complete failure to not have surge infrastructure in place to make overwhelming hospital capacity impossible(highly unlikely).  Instead we stood pat and then fired a bunch of nurses.

    How many nurses could be trained and surge capacity maintained in two years with even 1 of the 9 or so Trillion spent on Covid?

    You approach to staffing of a hospital has all the delicacy of how I play dynasty on NCAA football.

    Just make more that are ready if we need them.

    If you think the exceedingly small percentage of nurses that are at different nursing jobs because of their vaccination status was big deal, just wait until you tell a bunch of nurses their paycheck will be dependent on how irresponsible the community is when/if they get sick.

    And then you have the issue of making sure the ICU is staffed from a front desk to cleaning crew to Intensive Pulmonologists.

    Oh and there was a shortage of nurses and medical providers before the Pandemic.

     

    But yeah, just use money and make more and use them if we need them.

    Wolf Creek slams and goes hard with snow... just seems like they close somewhat early due to low skier numbers.  We'll see.  Got to get the guys to stop "thinking about it".  Just saw Copper Mountain is looking at around April 24th.

     

    Also, buddy who knows more outside of Colorado - Suggested Mt. Hood or maybe Mammoth.

    So they opened October this year bc of some early snow. Wasn't enough to get excited about, but still had that batch of skiers that wanted to ski in October to tell people they skied in October. My buddy is a paramedic over there and he was lucky enough to transport a guy who slipped and tore his ass open on an exposed rock. Gluteus exposed and cut extended all the way to the rectum.

    Moral of story - Don't go skiing in October.

    Hey, so if you were trying to convince a group of guys to go skiing in April, what are reasonable options?  I know Winter Park is usually stays open late.  A-Basin is a given.  What else?  One friend is asking to try to visit an Ikon pass location but maybe there are other options.  Not sure if there is an appetite for Squaw or Batchelor although I would love that.  Does Steamboat stay open late?  Taos seems to wrap up in early April.

    Trying to plan a skiing trip in April?
