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

If there is no nursing shortage, then why are all of these travel nursing agencies offering crazy 3 month contracts that pay close to $6,000 a week?
Because hospitals fired those not willing to take the “vaccine.”
Then, they replaced them (at exorbitant rates) as travel nurses.
Once the Covid funding ran out, the hospitals realized that they chose poorly.
Your boy Joe, and his mandates, are the real culprit.
See the military.

to be fair, agency and travel work for nurses has been around far longer than covid.
It just wasn't as utilized near as much as it is now. Nurse's are burned out with hospital greed and are realizing they can do the same work for better pay working for an agency rather than working directly for the hospital.
This problem isn't going to change anytime soon bc hospital corporations as a whole, aren't willing to adjust the pay rate for staff nurses.
I am not saying that in every market/location the pay should be 169$/hr or whatever, but it does need to increase.

There’s so much BS information in this thread I don’t know where to start.
I’ve been a nurse for 20 years. Yes, competent nurses need better pay, but it isn’t going to ever happen. Hospitals are basically Walmart. They’re run by a bunch of corporate asshats that have zero clinical experience. All that matters is the bottom line. They will continue to squeeze every penny out of the employees, increase patient load, and not allow overtime. I’ll never work for a hospital again.
