$20,000 signing bonus sounds good but they don’t allow hourly Tik Tok breaks. It’s about safety not money bro

cubbies, I don't think it has to do with compensation. I think it has to do with job satisfaction.


It’s funny when the leftists have to step in to clarify another leftist when they start going all Marxist. “Come on comrade cubbies, you know it’s not about the money…it’s safety. We don’t care what the CEO makes”

Well, damn! I thought this was all about patient safety.


Would you consider 16 patients to one nurse to be safe?

How many nurses do they actually hire and provide bonuses to? It’s one thing to say you’re going to do something. Have they actually done it?

Where did you ever mention patient safety until now? Do you have a link to the 16:1 ratio?

What’s the care setting?

Also, no one is addressing the issue. There is a nationwide nursing shortage. Unionization isn’t going to create more credentialed nurses.

It could potentially (likely) increase the market for traveling nurses in New Orleans if the unions push for stricter ratios of nurses to patients. (Which is why the unions won’t advocate for that)

How else do you expect them to stay in business when they are treating illegals and broke dicks for free?

You can Google any health system + “nurse” + “sign on bonus”

Do you think they’re all lying?

You’re now arguing in the face of very clear evidence.

Every time I brought up the nursing shortage, i was told that there is no nursing shortage. The people vilifying union were admitting that hospitals purposely understaff to cut costs which creates the illusion of a nursing shortage. And somehow that makes hospital administrators good and nurses bad.

New Orleans already has a strong market for travel nurses.

Which nursing union doesn’t advocate for better patient to nurse ratios?

Safe staffing is one of ANA’s core federal policy priorities. We work closely with our constituent and state nurses associations to monitor and advocate for state-level policies, which generally follow three approaches:

Staffing committees. Nurse-led groups that create unit-level staffing plans based on a patient population’s acuity and needs, matched with staff’s skills and experience. Mandated nurse to patient ratios or standards, in legislation or regulation. Mandated disclosure of staffing levels, to the public and/or regulatory bodies.
ANA supports a legislative model incorporating nurse-driven staffing committees because this approach encourages flexible staffing levels. At least 55 % of staffing committee members should be direct care nurses.

Why don’t you quote one of these mandated ratios they’ve achieved so we can all throw back our heads and laugh together.

Yes. There is clear evidence that this is claimed to be offered, which I never disputed. I’m asking if there is evidence that hospitals actually do what they say they will do.

As of March 2022, 16 states currently address nurse staffing in hospitals through either laws or regulations:

Hospital-based: Eight states with committees comprised of at least 50% direct care nurses: CT, IL, NV, NY, OH, OR, TX, WA. One state where a Chief Nursing Officer develops a core staffing plan: MN.
Nurse to patient ratios/standards. Two states: CA, MA
Disclosure and/or reporting requirements. Five states: IL, NJ, NY, RI, VT


Shall we laugh on 3?

Any person in medicine knows hospital administration nowadays is absolutely absurd. It's bloated, expensive, and often unnecessary. It is one of the primary drivers behind the rising cost of healthcare. I spend less and less of my time in hospitals these days, so I spend less and less of my time angry. Its great.
