It isn't really a shortage. Nurses don't want to work for home health
because they don't know what it really involves. Scared of ventilators.
Don't get vent experience in hospitals anymore because of respiratory
therapists. Agencies aren't given any incentive to their nurses. They
require 2 years of vent experience. Where are they going to find the
experience? They can't legally get rid of patients
