Survey: 30% of UCMC nurses would quit if hospital mandates COVID-19 vaccines
Editor's Note
A survey at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC) finds that 30% of nurses would quit their jobs if the hospital mandates COVID-19 vaccines, the September 1 Dayton Daily News reports.
Of 456 nurses surveyed, 136 said they would leave over a vaccine mandate.
UCMC agreed to negotiate a vaccine policy with the nurses’ union, but the first date that was set for bargaining on August 23 fell through. UCMC cancelled because they were unable to let two nurses leave the patient care unit for 4 hours because of short-staffing concerns, the report says. The rescheduled date is September 13.
