text: Hospitals are saying that they are running at full capacity though they have open beds. They are really having a staffing shortage and don't have enough nurses to take care of all the patients that are actually in the hospitals. I was in tge ER for my wife last night and over heard it first hand from several nurses talking at the nurses station. Took them 5 hours to get my wife in for suspected appendicitis. As we walked into tge unit the had at least 15 open rooms.
