Gotta agree with SMS. Nurse pay ain't the problem.
Now that nitric oxide vent that costs $5K just to hook up? That might be part of it...

LOL. You're the one who started.
I'd say nurse pay is far from the biggest contributing factor to healthcare costs. Our obesity and extreme lack of overall health, nutrition, and fitness is a huge factor that far eclipses RN pay.
Back when I had my c-section my hospital bill has this entry on the itemized bill:
IBUPROFEN, 12 @ $45.00 each

Hope she gets it, my daughter is a PICU nurse (RN).
And what GM said about the pay is spot on. My daughter made $800 for a single extra shift a couple weeks ago. That equates to just under $70 an hour.
