    In the US, we just pay nurses shit and then treat them like shit. It’s amazing we have any left.

      I live in Canada and nurses make really good money, more than Canadian RNs, in several states. Like you can make over a hundred grand a year. That’s not really bad at all for four years education.

      Nurses absolutely deserve what they make but it is not really poor pay that is their biggest issue. More like an unsafe patient load.

      Easy solution: Threaten immigrants with deporting them, actually deport half their families…the remaining ones will do anything just not to be deported. No wonder capitalists tend to fund right wing parties

      gonna be honest. I work with money. I see what nurses and MDs get paid. You don’t make what you should. guess what? no one does. You make more per hour and per year than more skilled people in more skilled fields doing more difficult work. why are you complaining about what you make?

      unless you want to pretend medicine is the hardest thing out there, which i assure you, it’s not.

          nurses and doctors being overpaid compared to comparably skilled people given the state of the economy where we’re all underpaid, and yet they fairly consistently get on the internet to whine how they went to SCHOOL and so they should be MILLIONAIRES not like their patients?
