Thank you so much for mentioning the vaccine issue. I am one of the nurses that had to leave my home state which vaccine mandates were issued, and practice in Florida for 2 years. It was the best decision I ever made. No offense to anyone that took the vaccine, but it just was not for me and I'm so glad I did not take it.
