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

In a free market, employee shortages fix themselves. If the demand of a profession exceeds the supply, wages will increase to fill the shortage.

What’s wrong with unions?
They tend to be corrupt beaurocracies and are sometimes run by gangsters. Given the choice between improving the life outcomes of children and defending the jobs of terrible teachers they side with teachers

Hospitals have lost their arse the last 3 years expecting nurses to randomly spring up and be willing to accept the pay that they are offering. Nurses haven’t, so hospitals have lost MILLIONS using agency nursing companies to help staff. They kept betting on red and the wheel has been showing black

Which is why nursing unions are important. If there was a strong nursing union presence in all states then we wouldn’t be having this problem of shortages of nurses.
Laugh all you want, but my wife works in the Neonatal intensive care unit at one of the best hospitals in the state and she is offered 0 paid maternity leave. That’s just begging for unions to come in. They start you at like $25 an hour and they have travelers that have worked there years they stick you with making 3x your hourly wage. It’s an industry just asking for what they have coming their way.

I think you’re underestimating some of the course work nurses have to endure in nursing school, especially nurse anesthetists

I’m just amazed hospitals have been as stubborn as they have been. The nurses called their bluff and the hospitals lost, but still are refusing to take their medicine. They continue to shell out to the nursing agency companies out of spite it seems

Men are less likely to bitch about their jobs compared to women because part of our masculine nature is to do things we hate and not complain.
Probably helps explain why men tend to die younger than women, on average, and tend to have more heart issues .

This is exactly why unions are a thing

GTFO .
The fact that people can pass drugs without any real chemistry background is fricking insane.

They have definitely been paying a high premium, but when you factor in that they don’t pay the temps for healthcare and long term benefits like retirement, then it actually gets much closer. The hospital also gets the leisure of bringing in or releasing nurses if their need changes. If you have permanent employees it’s not as simple, plus you have time and money invested in the permanent employees.

Well what the frick do you want me to say then? The post came from an RN on a subreddit that consists of nurses posting on there

Pharmacology courses can substitute for organic chemistry.
You don’t have to be an MD to be educated about drug pharmacology. If doctors would quit having this superiority complex over nurse practitioners and acknowledge that there are a lot of knowledgeable NPs then there wouldn’t be such huge tensions between them in healthcare settings.

Maybe because a business can't competitively price their products because the labor cost is too high?

Organic is the basis of pharmacology.
Without understanding drug structures, and basic reactions. You cannot understand mechanisms.
I've worked a decent bit of my career in the pharma end of chemical industry. These broads don't know shite about drugs.

That’s CALIFORNIA pay. Obviously states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida would not pay anywhere near that amount.
Let me guess. You also believe McDonalds pays $75 an hour in California.
