>1. Many new nurses make the same or more and long time nurses. It's frustrating when the nurse in charge with the most experience is making less than new nurses. Some hospitals are even trying to stop nurses from talking about pay. I think non-performance-based pay is something endemic to many female-dominated professions. My wife used to work in childcare, and it did her head in that she was paid less than complete idiots who'd been working there longer than she had.
