Nurses have almost traditionally been underpaid.



Bubbles wife is a classic example of that. $70K in NYC is low pay.



Maxi, you are wrong again...and it seems impossible for you to be wrong
so often.
Suzanne makes 50% more than the weekly average in our area. You do know
that 70K is base and she also makes over 800 dollars for a single
shift...which she does 2-3 times per month. Whip out the calculator and
don't forget her 3K bonus, travel pay and so on.
Or to put it better, Suzanne makes the national weekly average in 16
hours. Seems like good starting salary to everyone but you!

New York City is the 12th most expensive city in the world to live in. It is
twice as expensive as the 2nd most city in the US.

If she is only getting 50% higher in a city costs at least twice as much as
any other city, Suzeete needs to get her head examined.

NYC - highest tax burden in the US!

NY state - net population decrease!

"I'm going to increase my pay! I'll take a job that pays 50% more in a place
that costs 100% more to live!"

duh!
