Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm not a nurse but I've worked in healthcare in the US a long time and it's infuriating to me how nurses are treated. They get to take all the abuse from patients and their families who are themselves victims of this inhumane money machine dressed up like a first world healthcare system. They get to do that with a continually shrinking pool of resources whether through admin's incompetence or malice. It's fucking criminal what they have to deal with. Like people should go to jail for what they've done to make it this way. Exactly like the way they've done teachers, my friend.
Anyway, I'm not a nurse but I would still be down for a healthcare-related comm. As you say, nurses are primed to be radicalized. Corporate retail pharmacy workers (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and other assorted scumbag entities) are also ready IMO. They got rocked pretty hard on all sides by the pandemic, I mean imagine being a public face of healthcare in the middle of all that when literally any
can waltz in to where the big scary vaccine is being given and act like a literal child berating people in line to get it, but saving their best verbal (and sometimes physical) abuse for the technician (who doesn't even make a fucking living wage) because their copays went up because they're also a victim of this horrible evil system. It's victims all the way down but there are potential comrades there too.
