      The article focuses on the shortage of nurses at Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York City caused by the surge in December 2021 of COVID-19 patients infected by the Omicron variant. Topics covered include the impact of the decision of nurses to leave the profession due to burnout, the increasing workload facing nurses, and how the variant's extreme infectiousness has made nurses sick or in isolation.
