There is a nationwide nursing shortage

So there are 5 or 6 nurses in the state of Wyoming? Or does that number include livestock?

There is a nationwide "People willing to work" shortage

Got to love those stimulus checks. They are doing wonders for opening up jobs.

A nationwide shortage willing to work for crap wages.

It definitely extends beyond low paying jobs

My classmates are easily getting hired into their top choice departments - ED, ICU, etc

She wants to do Labor & Delivery. Not sure if that's a coveted position or not.

L&D is pretty coveted. After ICU and Emergency, Labor & Delivery was the most highly desired among my cohort.

That seems like an especially troublesome figure of speech..

You hear it a lot. There is a culture shift to get rid of that nonsense, but bullying is still prevalent in many places

This is why we need more male nurses

Hey, you don't happen to have any articles to illustrate your point do you? 😁

Haha, sadly there were many, many more, but I figured no one would look at them.

It's a tough job and many are not happy. And it's a long road.

7/19/21 10:43am

I don't understand that about the medical profession in general.

ReyOso

7/19/21 10:53am

I agree with this. We are going through a glut of high need dying baby boomers

kotacoug

Generally speaking, its a terrible job.

Backcountry

A nurse in a surgery center is decent. No nights

7/19/21 12:15pm

There are some cushy gigs. But most entry level jobs are hell.

Backcountry

7/19/21 2:42pm

The problem is a combination of things. I know in Utah my wife was making low

We'll never accept this, but health care works better overall in other countries

I was happy with the healthcare system in Germany. Never had to worry about

Nursing is a stressful field.

7/19/21 3:12pm

I straight up wouldnt recommend nursing to anyone unless they planned on grad

How many of those that burned out can be brought back for more money?

AND... idiots in Vegas are terminating nurses with 20 yrs exp. if no BA degree.
