And these are the best that can be found at the salaries being offered. If they go away you will get even worse people.

My experience with healthcare workers is that they are underpaid and overworked and that after years and years of that they just stop caring.

Most of them make over 150k, so I’m not sure what salaries you’re talking about.

Sure sometimes overworked, but like I said—time management.

5 patients per nurse is hardly understaffed, again time management and prioritization of tasks.

You sound like you're just management.
