@linxminx what you describe regarding wage discrepancy goes on in every profession. Each profession has their own cross to bear. COVID has just increased the amount of “work” . But the same can be said for morgue workers, morticians, grave diggers, etc.

I am in no way trying to diminish the critical role nurses play. Just that there are so many critical roles that people play that should be considered.

@linxminx not justifying it at all. It’s wrong , all I was pointing out is it’s pervasive, not just nursing.

@linxminx unfortunately.

@linxminx You're worth what the market will pay for your skills. Nurses are skilled. They're compensated commensurate to those skills. They could always go get more skills, take on more responsibilities or choose another profession.

It's tough to argue you're overworked when you keep showing up for checks.

And OP is def virtue signaling.
