Ungrateful? Not at all, is not on them and I’m not faulting the temp RNs at all, this is an institutional **** up and I’m not really saying what they are earning isn’t what they deserve, but something is really *****ed up when the nurses that have worked at these hospitals and are risking their lives even more are getting 1/3rd of the pay while a temp nurse who is clueless, not because they are not smart but because all hospitals have very different protocols and dynamics, comes in and earns 3x the pay to simply be back up, most of ya aint in a hospital setting, but to give ya some perspective, most temps at my job are only “runners” who run routine bloods and routine cleanings, basically used as CNA’s but getting paid 3-4 times the salary....I’m not a nurse, this is a complaint I’ve heard from full time RNs at my place and it isn’t the temps fault.
Thanks for the perspective, and for doing what you do. Sounds even more chaotic than I imagined.
I've sort of intentionally been avoiding the images from the hospitals so I don't really know what it's like.
