I have an irrational feat of sharks.


The sharks probably mistake you for a large piece of whale ****.

Working down by the docks means she sees action all the

Brilliant insight. A good number of people are going into nursing today
because of the relatively high pay. When there are enough nurses pay will
decrease. Why is there such a nurse "shortage"? Previously causes were bad
working conditions, lousy pay and long hours. Nurses left the field in
droves. Do you think it will be any different this time around?

Suzanne's pay is over 70K and that's not even with the whole package.
Other hospitals pay in the 50-60K range if they really want you and
also offer loan foregiveness, free housing and a contract bonus. It's
amazing. Suzanne's friend just graduated and is getting even more pay
at a LI hospital plus an apartment for 1 year.
However, we heard that in NC nurses barely make 35K in many cases.
The most shocking thing is that when Suzanne is called for an extra
shift, she's paid freelance and gets over 800 dollars for a 12 hour
nightshift. In NY nurses can crack 100K if they want to.
Burnout really depends on the facility and how they are funded. St.
Francis is like a hotel. Seeing a hospital like that is an offence to
anyone who had to wait in the ER at Jamaica hospital to be sure.
The nurse shortage will continue to be a problem for the next 20 years
and a report on NPR last month claimed it will only get worse as the
retiree to graduate ratio is not working as our population requires
more and more care.
Bad times to be sick!

Wow, kind hard to believe that poor Bob has fallen to the level of such
a comment.
Ambergris (Discharged from Sperm Whales) is valuable stuff...10 bucks
an ounce...though not legally traded in the states.

Sluzy's pay is not out of line with NC. When you consider the NY & NYC tax
burden and cost of living NC is a deal. NY has a net loss of population, NC
has a net growth.

Despite the higher pay, the number of people going into nursing is
dropping rapidly.


Do you have anything to back that up?


We have reached the point now, where if the
hospitals all re-opened their nursing schools, there would not be
enough teachers to staff them.


Unless pay is raised and the bar lowered for teaching.

Import nurses from Canada.
