5/7, perfect score

I agree that it’s not sustainable at all, and until hospital admins start paying their regular staff more, there’s just going to be more travel positions everywhere. Unfortunately most of their heads are up their own asses and they continue to give themselves bonuses while refusing to increase wages. At my last job we got a 4% raise in 2 years (when inflation in one year was 8%) and 2% of the raise was from our union bargaining :(

Every single hospital system in the area uses travel RNs, and I myself do local travel. If we’re going to be understaffed and overworked wherever we go (and still in a pandemic), I’m not going to pick a job that’s $39 vs $69/hour
