Your ire directed at travelers is going in the wrong direction.
Travelers are cheaper than staff (overall) for hospitals.
I work at UPMC as a nurse (staff, sadly) so I get it.
But support a union, travel yourself, or find a new job.

That’s untrue. You cannot get a nursing degree online or somewhwre unaccredited and you can’t travel as a new grad.

That’s not what nonprofit means at all.
I work at UPMC and they are scummy, but this is wrong.

Reply to bronze alert from UPMC, any details? by penchick
I was on the floor at Mercy today and we had a violent homicidal patient and we all got this and immediately started taking cover because we thought he pulled out a gun and we were really scared.
This is a huge mistake to be honest.

You have to attend a program approved by the state BON to sit the NCLEX, and the NCLEX is an adaptive test that requires a significant body of knowledge to pass.
And no reputable company will hire new grads to travel. It’s so rare (and hugely unsafe) that I’d question your neighbor’s story.
