    Don’t think it’s the money honestly. Wife was an RN for 2 hospitals over 10 years and the reason she left to go private practice is because of the lack of support. Hospitals only care about the $ and, so called, patient rights, which comes at the expense of their staff’s word. She was rarely backed even though the patients or their families were lying 90% of the time.

    She could make 2x as much at the hospital but chooses not to go back because of how miserable she was there. Screw them.

      Well, that’s the point really. If the job is that bad, you need to offer hazard pay or people find alternatives.
