There are plenty ...There is NOT a nursing shortage. There are plenty of nurses - we just don't CHOOSE to work in a hospital where we are overworked, disrespected by physicians and administrators, and underappreciated. Nurses are educated professionals, but not treated as such. And hospital salaries could be better when you consider the amount nurses in other nursing fields are getting -fields such as case management, traveling nurse, legal nurse consultants, rehab nurses, etc.- which is where the hospital nurses are going. On top of that, the hospitals are bringing in foreign nurses and paying less and because of language and cultural barriers, subnormal care is being given. Just some thoughts from a nurse who now refuses to work in a hospital setting due to a total lack of professional respect, overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-37338144325092935372013-12-11T16:24:06.425-05:002013-12-11T16:24:06.425-05:00To many nurses go into nurse management positions ...To many nurses go into nurse management positions instead of working as a floor nurse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-19276833978235772582013-12-11T15:21:35.075-05:002013-12-11T15:21:35.075-05:00The Nursing school graduates are not willing to wo...The Nursing school graduates are not willing to work for the smaller salaries that are currently being paid.<br /><br />Also, considering the cutbacks (PRMC comes to mind), a shortage may be what brings the salaries up.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-25879436986776119812013-12-11T15:20:05.324-05:002013-12-11T15:20:05.324-05:00PRMC has a slew of ads for nursing staff.
