Yes. I see the vaxes being pulled off the market due to the number of deaths and injuries. All mandates removed. It's already happening.
Masking is a significant indicator of our national and healthcare status. It's a practice we used to associate with other countries, but now it's our usual and customary route for self-protection. Unfortunately, due to misinformation and a severe lack of proper PPE, we've lost many nurses. This underscores the urgent need for adequate PPE to protect our healthcare workers.

Where do you work? I'm on a med/surg/ortho/ neuro floor and masking has been optional for a while. It's only required for respiratory isolation rooms. It's the same in the AL/MC community I also work in. I wear one because I have a baby at home and it's become habit at work now.
No

Yes. I think you will sooner than later, as even though they are currently plentiful, N95 and surgical mask use represents an expense to facilities. I do think that you'll see more individual RN's opt into wearing them, especially in the ED, triage roles, and during flu season.
No
I do not think so. I think that the government rules are getting too stringent for the population. If you've had your shots then I don't think it is needed when in contact with a patient who has also had their shots.
