[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Go into a hospital or nursing home and look at the nurses working there. I'd guess it's at least 50% first generation immigrants from Africa, the Philippines, and Latin America[/b]. Native-born Americans don't seem to want to be nurses, by and large. I don't think this is a pay thing. Travelling nurses are making the equivalent of $300K / year right now! There just isn't enough supply. I also have trouble with the teachers argument. Teachers in Montgomery County make $70+ (avg. is $78K per MCPS website), plus great healthcare, summers off, and defined benefit pensions upon 30 years service. That sounds pretty great to me.[/quote] It really depends on the area and specialty. Nursing homes are staffed by CNAs and a few LPNs. I would say the older nurses maybe skew more diverse? It seems like most bushy tailed bright eyed orientees I precept are white and in their 20s.[/quote]
