"What many have misidentified as a lack of qualified nurses is actually a shortage of good, quality nursing jobs" sure, it's a lack of well qualified nurses who are willing to work for slave wages under slave conditions

In an oppressive system that puts profit above actual medical care.
Yeah, I've worked for a Catholic hospital it would literally tell staff nurses that have been there for 20 years they didn't have the money for bonuses or raises other than market and then I would go into the staff break room for the emergency department and they were able to give doctors $500 bonuses just for signing up for a shift on top of what they would already make. The ED was staffed by an outside company. They got paid by the hospital if they have that money just to get people to pick up a shift then I think the hospital has enough money to pay nurses but they deserve.
This is disgusting. Fortunately my spouse saw the writing on the wall during covid and has left the profession.
It shocks me that we have let huge businesses monopolize all of our hospitals and health care industries.
We are fortunate where I live that the major university runs the bigger hospital, as all the private ones are running like an airline service, over charging, hiring unqualified people, and only looking at the next quarters profits.
I like how the title embraces the inevitable yet catastrophic nature of Uberisation (which is just privatization really). Like it comes for you, whether you want it or not. It leaves behind a trail of industries full of exploiteds and void of regulation, great phenomenon. You hear this nursing? It's coming for you. Firefighters? You betcha
US Firefighting started off in the Uber model
Step up from Roman firefighting.
I don't think the USA started our firefighters off with prolific arsonists.
You'd probably be wrong about that..
Wow, this is terrible
Teachers, too. The firms placing substitute teachers in schools are so shockingly awful.
