It's been called the "Bully Pulpit" since Roosevelt, the president saying it and encouraging it is probably more important than the mandate itself.

And technically, OSHA has not released their rule so the only federal mandate that's active is for federal employee's.

native disease burden + vaccination rates have to be considered for 'herd immunity' rates. 40% vaccinated is not impressive if only 10% of your population has natural antibodies from prior disease. 40% vaccinated + 30% native infection would be more impressive and likely close to the theoretical 'herd immunity' level. Michigan suppressed (or avoided) case surges early in 2020 and summer 2020 which likely left them with less native immunity despite a fairly good vaccination rate.

nurses are a diverse group, not all of them work directly with covid19 patients so you can't assume they have all seen the effects of the disease. There's also a reluctance to mandate a vaccine that still only has emergency use authorization from the FDA.
