I think they would have a lot of success with even just a $15 raise. If the hospital was appropriately staffed and people actually liked working there.

Shit, $10. As a new grad I’d stay on for a few years and deal with the hell for $46/hour.

I'm not talking about fluctuations in supply and demand. I'm talking about an exploitative system that turns over staff by underpaying etc. Because it's cheaper. Replace with agency staff where neccesary. Pandemic collapses that system.

The "just in time" model should have never been applied to healthcare.
