They staff hospitals bare bones so as a nurse you get patient to nurse ratios that could endanger your license (or worse - precedence recently for criminal charges can be pressed for mistakes). Nurses are in charge of crucial aspects of care that could cause serious health consequences or death.
More than pay I pray for ratio legislation.
Positions for temp nurses are being offered for 500/hour to pay to cover the hospital for the strike (mt Sinai) but they’re too cheap to hire more full time nurses. Some desperate nurses from lower paying states travel here to take those rates. There’s an entire field of nursing for those kinds of contracts.

Crazy.
Everything and anything to save the big guys a buck.
Who can blame travelers though for crossing the picket lines?!.
