[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]

Union officials said that Mount Sinai and the other hospitals were offering only about $4,500 more per nurse, while declining to fund health care benefits to the same extent as before.

So basically a wash. Nurses are expected to work harder, and less safely, for the same or less pay? How many of you desk jockeys would find that acceptable? More importantly, how many of you are willing to accept less attentive care from less skilled nurses?

We’re already there in the maternity wards. C section? Great. Here’s a helpless infant for you to care for 24/7. Someone will be by in the middle of the night to check your blood pressure. No partner? Too bad. [/quote]
