Reply to comment by mowotlarx in What forced hospitalization feels like in New York City, as Mayor Adams pushes for more by psychothumbs

There used to be a provision for front line health care workers in public hospitals that tied their pay to a specific list of comparable titles in private hospitals. It was suspended in 2006 by Bloomberg's OLR and has never been reactivated.

As of June 2020, RN license grantees are required to hold a BSN to be hired even as a med surg staff nurse (which wasn't always the case) so I imagine the parity provisions will be back sooner rather than later.

Knowing this administration and listening to how they've rolled out this announcement with almost no acknowledgement of what is happening in the hospitals the intent to turn into medical nails, I don't think parity provisions will be back soon.

This mayor regularly meets with Bloomberg for advice and emphasizes cost cutting. Don’t expect parity.
