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

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.

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.
