[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nurse. Nurses in this area are definitely underpaid- I made the same salary in Texas and didn't have to pay income tax and overall cost of living was much lower even though property tax was higher because property is cheap there. I think [b]nurses are underpaid because there's so many of us[/b]- it would seriously put the hospital out of business to pay ALL of us much more (or make healthcare costs that much greater). [/quote] That is it in a nutshell right there. Wages are driven by supply and demand. The hospital isn't going to pay you more because they don't have to. They can replace you with another nurse willing to do the job for what they are offering. In areas with nursing shortages, the pay for nurses is increasing significantly.[/quote]
