[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYC nurses striking claiming it is due to workload and staffing levels. Meanwhile, they're already making $165k and want to increase it up to $275k at some NY hospitals. GMAFB.  That is grotesque overpay for a 4 year degree job.  We are supposed to now compensate nurses more than many family docs?  Talk about wage inflation spiral. If nurses make $275k I guess we have to pay teachers $200k and docs $1M now.

USA wages and cost of labor are out of control. [/quote]

What are your sources for these salaries and what types of roles?

DP. I was curious so I looked it up for NY Presbyterian.  Starting salary for med-surg RN 1 yr experience is 118-155k, for Brooklyn location. Most of the listings for new hires start around $60/hr is not salary [/quote]

Med surg is one of the most physically demanding areas in nursing.  And for that reason they have a lot of issues with retention, especially when understaffed.[/quote]

I checked several listings, they were all around the same [/quote]
