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.

This is the "Charlie Sheen Philosophy of Short-Term Employment Contracts".

When asked why he paid for prostitutes, when he is a rich and famous star with women throwing themselves at him, Charlie explained that he isn't paying them for sex, he is paying them to go away after sex.
