They can cap nurse pay once they cap what hospitals charge people. They have absolutely been scamming people every single day for decades. They don't deserve the slightest bit of pity.
There is a long term global nursing shortage. The world is their oyster.
The percentage of males nurses increases every year.
Oil rich countries in the ME have relied mostly on traveling nurses for decades. Sign on bonuses, compensation, housing, food, transportation, benefits etc attract RNs from all over the world, especially the Philippines, Canada and Australia.
The US set up nursing schools in the Philippines in the early 1900’s when it was a US colony with the sole purpose of immigration to the US. Thus, Filipino nurses become generational and persists, today.
EU countries attempt to hold the line on healthcare costs by recruiting nurses and physicians from each other with an emphasis on Hungary and Romania.
In the US half of qualified applications to nursing baccalaureate schools are rejected due to insufficient faculty, especially in Southern and Western states.
Student costs are rarely an issue given grants, scholarships, sign on bonuses, retention bonuses, and eligibility for federal loan forgiveness after 10 years of payment when working for a not for profit.
It is increasingly common for Nursing Techs and CNAs to perform basic functions under the supervision of an RN in private practices, nursing homes and hospitals. Certification requirements and scope vary state to state.
There are almost as many nursing specialties as there are physician specialties.
In the US, traveling nurses are employed by agencies, not hospitals.Corporate housing is typically included in the comp package. Assignments are typically 12-13 weeks. Traveling nurses often fill the overnight shifts and earn shift differential.
Can’t imagine anything more conducive to increasing nursing shortage than a state capping wages.
All I can say is, for the majority of your traveling nurses, they make the most, $100,000 a year, so I think that article is misleading. The ones that make $250,000 are probably private nurses for the elite and they are pretty much paid to keep quiet about all the stuff they see. Hush money if you will.
Either way, was researching some of this, and most nurses think this is the government's way of attacking women since most nurses are women.
Yep. My sister is a traveling nurse. She left NC, went to TX for a while and then ended up near San Jose, CA. She is making a ton of money. I don't understand why they don't just hire full time nurses. Seems really stupid to me.
Demand is greater than supply. It’s a global thing.
Aging of faculty, increased competition from clinical sites and non- competitive pay combine to create an acute shortage of faculty in baccalaureate nursing schools. Reportedly, the shortage is the greatest in Southern and Western states.
Govt/corp: Free market is the basis of a free society.
Govt/corp when people benefit from free market: No, wait, stop!!
So true. We saw that with the Gamestop incident. Never seen congress to act so quick to pass bills and laws to protect Wallstreet and hedgefunds against a little guy that just outsmarted the system for once. So it goes to show, congress can get together and do anything if they are stressed enough.
If nurses make $250/hr then how much the doctors make?
(Mind you that to be a nurse one need HS diploma and 2 years nursing school. Not bad...)
We all pay for that.
RNs graduate from Baccalaureate program or have an existing undergraduate degree and receive 2 years of incremental education.
just like the problem with climate change isnt your gas stove, the problem with healthcare and covid isn’t with nurses. so, no.
