I don't understand all this inflation talk and why Trump did it. LOL

the nursing shortage has been around far longer than covid/vax
I can’t drive around Germantown and Wolf River without at least 20 nurses hitting on me.

You’re joking, right? A good nurse is worth her or his weight in gold. A good nurse cares for the patient and gets things done. I have more respect for them than doctors who one rarely sees in an hospital, especially what they are churning out today. Nurses are vital. At least the nurses of previous days. What is coming out of nursing school today isn’t good, and I’ve seen some lazy, fat do-nothings sitting there playing on their cell phones, and with lazy attitudes. The medical business (we don’t have healthcare these days) has ruined everything.

Most peoples jobs are "vital."
We need more AI and automation, less human input. American labor is too expensive.

75% is a terrible pass rate.

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.

RN wages to $169.00 an hour
I picked the wrong perfession.
RN's should also have to pay for their own Malpractice and Errors & Omissions policies to eat at that 169 an hour that is almost 1350 a day on a 8 hour shift.
What could happen is Kaiser hospitals are going to depend on lower less qualfied nurses for longer shifts while the 169 an hour nurses will work shorter shifts seeing and overseeing more patients.

My wife is a NP and doesn’t make half of $169/hr.
I wish every other medical profession would unionize and demand their wages increase by the same percentage as nursing has.

Let me let you in on a little secret bud. There is a shortage in most industries right now. And if you ask anyone in their industry, no matter what it is, everyone would agree that they deserve more pay, and that more pay would get rid of labor shortages. You sound the same as everyone else

You have no idea how this works, this is probably the dumbest shite ive read this week.

Fair enough. Most jobs are vital. But medical care is not one we want screwed up, which is exactly what has happened. I just know the nurse who tended to my relative who was very ill in the hospital made a difference. She also listened when we told her the meds being given were causing some issues (which caused them to rx more meds on top of) bc she wasn’t supposed to take them (steroids), and the nurse communicated to the doc she needed off of it. And she communicated well with us. Automation can’t do that. Neither can a crap nurse. Unfortunately, she was the only decent nurse on the floor that week that we met. They were severely “understaffed” bc of travel nursing (their words) and what remained was useless. OLOL Essen Lane.

He is saying the school is in the top 25% of graduates passing board exams.

Sit in any hospital committee and you’ll see there’s no nursing shortage, they’re just all in “quality” or some other admin bullshite position.

There’s always the nurses are smarter than DRs poster.
Who do you want passing gas during your operation, a Nurse Anesthetist or an
Anesthesiologist?
When you have a DRs appointment and you end up seeing a Nurse Practitioner or PA instead of an MD, you are fine with that.
If I got a dollar every time I heard the DRs are lazy/dumb/stupid rant from an I’m smarter than them nurse, I’d be richer than Elon Musk. A nurses job is to care for the patient and get things done, so when they do that they are literally meeting their job expectations, nothing more. What does it say about that profession if one happens to meet the job expectation, they become the most valuable asset at work.
Anyone admitted to a hospital was admitted by a physician and that person is seen by that physician or physicians on call daily. Their status is updated daily by notes written and or entered into a system, where they may ask to be consulted by other specialized physicians if needed.
Your statement that doctors are rarely seen at the hospital is bullshite.
