What exactly are they waiting on?
Probably waiting on hospitals to be fully staffed and less busy.
My sibling moved from being a pedatric nurse to a non-patient care position (not at a hospital). She'd been nearly permanently removed from her pediatric role and moved to be on the front lines for COVID care for over a year with no relief in sight. She spent 2 years in Iraq and said that this is much more tiring and exasperating since she's treating people that largely could have avoided being in the hospital at all.
Her hospital has been cancelling elective procedures, so everyone is suffering from the COVID wave.
