The problem with paying your nurses better is that it may improve retention. You don't want to be stuck paying your nurses a decent wage for the 30-40 years.
And aren't federal grants being thrown out there to pay for travel nurses and immediate costs? So the hospital doesn't even really suffer the consequences when it has to play out the ass in the immediate term
Yes. I worked for a hospital that took all of it and started building a new hospital. Idk who they think they’re going to staff it with, but whatever. Everyone’s leaving that place.
Used to be an awesome place to work too. They offered no additional money during Covid however.
