My girl is a nurse here in the city. Picking up an extra shift used to be time and a half… now it’s to the point where they’re getting paid an extra couple hundreds of dollars an hour if they pick up an overtime shift. This is barely doing anything cause all the staff are burnt out.

Have to wonder if the healthcare system is gonna hold up
