re: If nurses across the US simply got paid more then we wouldn’t have a nursing shortage

There is way too much middle mgmt / administrative bloat and they are direly concerned with the bottom line.

OTOH, my experience in healthcare admin has taught me that when middle management is filled with RNs (as so much of it in healthcare is), the business will likely struggle. I always get a kick out of hospitals that try to deploy six sigma or lean manufacturing principles with a bunch of RNs that have never worked in corporate America.

IMO, the reason that there is a supposed nursing shortage is that the goal of so many of them is to work PRN or get a desk job in healthcare.
