The average salary of a nurse is certainly not 150k outside of travel nursing or living in California. The movie was also set in 2003 so you can’t compare what nurses are making now to then. Nursing has always been a relatively lower paying job until the pandemic hit and the precedents that management had been setting to optimize profits and fuck over staff were given the middle finger by staff nurses who then left. THEN salaries were raised but still mostly only for travel nurses. If you’re a doctor then I’m surprised you don’t know all this…unless you’re a doctor who has become upper management for a hospital. Every doctor I know has no love for management and can see the way hospitals have abused staff to maximize profits.
