It seems weird, but it makes sense. In 1939 Agatha Christie wrote ’10 little Indians’ where one by one people got erased from existence. This setting now applies to America and their health care as the world already went after the researchers and the academics in health care. Now CBC gives us that Canada is going after the nurses. The article (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-recruit-us-nurses-1.7533079) gives us ‘B.C. fast-tracks process for U.S. nurses to get registered in province’, this was always going to happen, but as it stands now a lot sooner then expected. As such America healthcare is hanging by as little as a small spider wire. Like the sword of Damocles. OK, granted that piece of elementary hardware was hanging by a horse hair, as such, it might be a little less secure. Bur that hair with sword is now hanging over the head of the king wannabe President Trump. So as CBC gives us “The province is making it easier and faster for nurses from the U.S. to get registered in B.C., in an effort to bring more health-care workers north. During a news conference on Monday, Premier David Eby said “uncertainty” related to U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration creates an “opportunity” for the province to recruit much-needed doctors and nurses.” And David Eby, who is never at a loss to represent all of his his 5,722,318 constituents saw a setting evolve and he took the BS by the horns and gave it direction. And there is a chance that BC will be the first state in over a decade to have a surplus of nurses. I reckon that there will be need to weed out the ski wannabe’s from the healthcare crazies, but that is a story for another day and as such to have a surplus in Whistler is never a bad thing, especially with the YouTube crazies thinking that they are Olympic material on snowboards.
As such we are given “American nurses can apply to the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives without first going through a third-party assessment organization. The province says collaboration with counterparts from the United States means the B.C. college can now access a database to review the education, exam results, employment and registration history of nurses who apply.” As such a setting without fleecers and fleecing. If you are a graduated qualified person, you stand a chance on a new life in a health driven state and with a natural environment. For those people I have one bit of advice, these singular colored panda’s (Brown, Black, White) are called bears and you need to keep your distance from them. These massive deers with massive antlers are called moose and they tend to be not the friendliest animals in the kingdom either. They are vegetarians, but they can run over you and you get to have more chances surviving that event with a tank than with a moose. Just so you know.
And as I see it (presented by CBC), the results are already there “Since launching its new process for U.S. nurses in early April, 177 people have applied to work in B.C. and 113 have received their registrations to practice, Eby added. The province said applications from U.S.-trained nurses are up 127 per cent.” And this is not the end. America will be short will over 250 nurses by next week and that implies that work will be harder for the remaining nurses and they will optionally also call in sick to post their graduate results before the first of June. I reckon that Doctors will be next and soon there after specialists (anesthesiologists, radiologists and theatre orderlies) which might be a separate step and as such then there will be 6. So how long does President Trump think he can piss of Canadians? I reckon that the UK, Australia and New Zealand are not far behind Canada.
Consider that only 5% will consider this move to any of the 4 nations. Now consider the quote we were given in February “It anticipates a 10% RN shortage in 2027, dropping to 8% by 2032 and 6% by 2037. While the shortage wanes over the projection decade, a shortage still remains. The 6% shortage equates to about 207,980 FTE RNs nationally.” This amounts to a near crises charter (the use of the word crises is overrated), but the fact is that the average hospital is dealing with more than 10% at present and until 2027. So what happens when the drain grows through other means? In Europe that shortage is also pressing and they are ready to vulture a cadaver named America. As such, healthcare is one, but this is not the only one and some are seeing the light in the distance, America is no longer the land of opportunity, that time has passed and now the ones that can get away, will likely get away. The setting of nurses is bringing that to the top, but it is not the only shortage that America faces. Do you think that pharmacies are getting rich over this? No, they merely are the from of the counter and the people are angry and they have dealt with that anger too much and I reckon that soon the need for registered people (likely now at Walmart Pharmacy) will be aimed for next. All sides of a coin that can no longer be afforded and they need a way out before the dreaded hour chimes.
As said, this was coming for a long time and now that the hurdles are here and the people are taking this steeple chase, it merely means that America is running out of options in several ways. As stated, all wars are set to deception. So lets take a fictive setting. A person is threatening Microsoft and its 280,000 people (that person thinks of the spouses and children as collateral damage). Now 1-3 places get hit, so how long until the bulk starts searching for another location? The threat was seemingly real. As such how long until Microsoft collapses as it can no longer function? Is it a mere 10%, or is more than 20% required? It is a serious question as these firms are partially running on skeleton crews. So how long until service level agreements can no longer be met? How long until its customers are running for Amazon or Google, with only a single copy of Excel (that product is the best by global recognition). You see, we see all these firms ‘running on empty’ with no fuel capacity. Now transfer that thought to healthcare and its staff already running. When is a critical point achieved? This is the larger picture that was never achievable. As I stated in the last week. America gets $4.92 trillion in tax revenue. From that, at least two parts are paid, interest from the US debt (which is $36.56 trillion, or $36,560,000,000,000) that interest is a speculated $1.828 trillion. And also defence spending which is $849.8 billion. This amount to $2.3T ($4.92T – $2.6T), that has to fuel retirements, healthcare, infrastructure and all kind of other expenses. I saw this go wrong in 2015, as such we are here and the nurses and others will be handed a golden chute, how many will leave it until it is too late? So how bad do things need to get before it all collapses and Microsoft is everywhere. So as they go the infrastructure of the American administrations go too. So good luck with that and as others have options, I reckon that we are seeing the latest in bungles that enough saw coming, but the media is keeping it under wraps as their ‘stake holders’ need the quiet time. Now that too much is coming out in the open the media has no excuses, merely the party lines like “It is a complex situation”, there are all kinds of excuses and redirections, but the fact that I saw this a decade ago is a larger issue. I am not the brightest light in economy, so others should have seen this a mile away. Where are those media articles?
If Canada can solve its shortage in this way, they are right to do so. As is any other country that needs their shortages filled. As such I reckon that these 113 nurses (at present) got out just in time. Especially when they revert their 401K or whatever retirement plan they have, because 113 times that amount might not seem much, but when they at least have their retirement safe, the ones that never make it might end up with zilch and as I see it, something will always seem more than zilch.
But that might just be me. So have a great day and lets hope that these nurses enjoy the healthy atmosphere of British Columbia.
