[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nurses are not underpaid.[/quote]

one kid is a nurse, other marketig. The marketing major gets paid 30K more a year and goes to fancy conferences, and works from home two days a week in a 9-5 office job with free coffee and breakfast.

Day consists of of this, arrive 30-45 minutes early to have time to park in overflow lot (you pay to park in) take shuttle buss to main building, then clock in and do shift turn over. They work 12 hours, if busy 13-15 when add in charting, then 15-30 minutes back to car depending if you just miss shuttle buss.

Now nurses are paid low so some have 45 minute to one hour coummutes so cant afford to live in DC. So when my kid lived at home she live for work at 630 am for work do 8-8 shift with charting or issues could be 8-10pm  then get home by 11 pm.  And when she flipped day to nights she had to leave for work at 630am next day for day shift, meaning she had to get up around 545am at latest to get ready for work So she literally only had 5-7 hours between shifts.

She often during a 37 hour period between a shif change work 30 hours. Yes 30 hours out of 37 hours. Amd some of  nurses since salary is onlyl 80-90k do a per diem shift in another hospital. So that makes is a 50-60 hour work week all on your feet. Just to make what a junior marketing person at Fannie Mae who is 34 year old makes
