Or realize that full time staff nurses are the glue and holding everything together and make a very small fraction of that.

I was one of the only full time staff nurses on my unit. One night I looked at the board and I was working with all travel nurses and had to pick up their slack since most didn’t know how to do things at my hospital. I realized I was a clown for doing their work while making wayyyy less money and decided to quit. A few others did the same and my unit is 100% travel nurses at night.

Hospitals can’t function long term with this many travel nurses. Not because of the pay, but because of the knowledge. Some are great, but some don’t give a fuck and will just move to another hospital if they are reprimanded for not doing their job

Sorry if your loved one is staying there overnight, they aren’t getting good care at all and it will only continue because uneducated people like you try to spread around that everything is okay 🤷‍♂️
