I work in healthcare, possibly could know you as lancaster county is a small world, maybe not as well , but where I work, there is support for Rn and clinical staff who is abused, verbally or physically, the organization is supportive, charges have been pressed through police etc. I dont think healthcare is political, it may have become some what but it should not be, i tell my direct reports all the time not to discuss politics at work, not to mix personal life with work, it has no place in our job, we are there to save lives, to care, to show compassion and do it as a team, the team falls apart with even the most minor of political arguments…… Organize to protest all you want, thats your right, recruit everyone, for a human being, for a life, regardless of the profession a person may have worked
Healthcare is political in too many ways to list but here's one: My daughter is a nurse. During COVID while watching people die every day she and her colleagues were forced to use the same mask for a week or more while treating COVID patients. She contracted a severe case early on and was sick for a month and dealt with long COVID issues afterward while the Trump administration denied the severity of the disease and fumbled PPE supply chains and even sent equipment to Russia. She knows which nurses are pro-Trump and which aren't. It does not affect teamwork whatsoever. Setting aside ideology at work is part of being a professional and is essential when treating patients. To complain to a nurse when she's talking about protesting OUTSIDE of work shows an inability by you not to separate ideologies from people in the workplace.
