I agree, it's not ideal. But it's a very not ideal situation that the hospitals are 100% responsible for. I would be fine with ending travel nursing if they also ended stupidly low pay caps. But I don't know why there are any nurses who aren't travel nurses at this point. Those are the ones being rewarded by the hospitals.

There are those staff members who have family and therefore cannot travel. You can't do that if you have kids and a partner who also works.
