Are nurses guilty of ‘price gouging’ for being paid $10k per week in NYC?
- allears 7y agoThese people are risking their fucking lives, and you're penny-pinching? Get real.
- slater 7y agoTruly. Betteridge's law of headlines seems to apply. And heck, let's shine a light on all the nonsense Wall Street gets up to? :D
- bsg75 7y agoMost of what I have read indicates that out of area (travelling) nurses are being _offered_ extra compensation to work in a high risk zone. That is the no more gouging than a store having a high discount fire sale. Plus the diagram category of "intellectual consistency" makes this read like click-bait.
- rdtwo 7y agoNo would you go work with covid patients for 10k a week? Really the problem is the local nurses are underpaid and should seek higher pay
- DrScump 7y agoTraveling nurses AKA "Flying nurses" have been a thing for decades. I had a good friend who first came to SV as one in 1983.
