Talk about a dumb idea - California

Newsom keeps hitting bottom and digging.  From the San Francisco ABC affiliate:

'It's unsafe': Nurses alarmed at possible 2-day ICU training program announced by Gov. Newsom
Bay Area nurses are expressing concern over an ICU training plan announced By Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday.

"We're looking at training RNs, this two-day, very effective, focused to training to speed up opportunities to bring nurses into the ICUs to help out patients that's being rolled out as well," Newsom said at Monday's press conference, detailing the state's strategy to prepare for surging COVID-19 numbers.

Newsom did not go into detail about the program or where it will be rolled out.

Of course he didn't go into details.  He fancies himself to be the idea man.  In reality, he is just a clueless pointy-haired boss (PHB for short)

A nurse wants to get training to work in an ICU?

ABC7 News reached out to his office - We are still waiting for a response. But Bay Area ER nurse Mawata Kamara, who is also a board member at National Nurses United, says she can't believe Gov. Newsom would even consider such a program.

"I've worked all over the hospital, I've never heard of an ICU nurse training for two days, it's just unconscionable that such a discussion can even be happening," said Kamara.

At Stanford Health Care, nurses get at least six months to a year of training before working with critical care patients. Their Chief Nursing officer says such a program wouldn't be used at their hospital.

The Great State of California is in the best of hands. Governed wisely.
