DeSantis calls on FEMA to help relieve Florida's nurse shortage


last time I looked, FEMA doesn;t have 1000s of nurses sitting around, DeSantis is such a joke

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/348328-ron-desantis-calls-on-fema-to-help-relieve-floridas-nurse-shortage

The state is asking the federal government for 1,500 nurses to “surge into hospitals for day and night shifts.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ administration submitted the application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency on July 3 and said it would provide the names of the hospitals where the nurses would be deployed this week.

Immediate attempts to get the names of the facilities were unsuccessful.

Until the FEMA nurses arrive, DeSantis said he would direct other nurses to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and to Tampa.

Really has no grasp of how things work. While I assume TrumPence will move heaven and Hell to get him what he needs. He'd do better asking for help from other states.

Of his duties because he's exposed himself as the reason Florida is now a national disaster area from his mismanagement with this virus.
