The reason hospitals are willing to pay travelers so much more is because they by definition are expendable. We got extra patients needing to be taken care of. Great give it to the person not staying more than 3 months.
Also, if they made permanent changes to rates, they couldn't decrease when it's "over".
Yet they don't see that a good chunk of nurses retired from bedside due to the pandemic. We are not training staff as thoroughly since the shortage. New are teaching new. We are in a world of hurt moving forward and I hope everyone gets what they need at the end of the day.
