VA says its job cuts will limit doctor, nurse resignations

Does he think those deferred resignations won't effect patient care? Nurses, medical assistants, and social workers are all important parts of that care. Then there's the hiring freeze. My best friend's sister is the head nurse at a VA, and she has to leave her duties sometimes to cover for nurses on the floor. That definitely impacts care. And what happens when the nurses that are there now get fed up and leave? They won't be able to hire anyone, so they won't even have enough nurses. How will that not impact patient care?
