Our local hospital pays new nurses $26/hr. Experienced ones make low $30s and entire staff has to park a block away in horrible weather. Not appealing to potential recruits

That is so low. Is Copley using a lot of travel nurses?

Yes. Their er is almost all travelers. Yet they won’t pay their staff well and managers keep quitting or moving to different departments . several of my friends work there. It’s a sh@t show

One friend, a nurse, was highly skilled and well liked by her coworkers but switched to an entirely new department bc hers was so toxic she was crying every night when she got home

:( the healthcare field sucks so bad right now. I wonder if it is this bad outside of the NE. I've heard from many people that Dathmouth is feeling the same pain.

It could be worse. A friend works at a Vermont hospital with a model called fill and pull. First you fill as many beds as possible. Then you pull together to make it work.

That can't be the norm forever though. Will have nothing but travelers after a few years.
