The US needs to find ways to raise the number of workers through larger and more economically motivated immigration policies, and higher labor force participation.

Fuck you, CNN, indeed.

And given how friendly CNN is to Dems, this would prolly be a Dem policy.

Nurses in the US are quitting in droves, but there is a group of nurses who are actually in no rush to leave their jobs: Those born or educated abroad.

Nurses are leaving the profession, and replacing them won’t be easy.

I know this because my sister is a nurse soon retiring from https://www.stlukeshealth.org/locations/vintage-hospital

For 50 years she has gone from hospital volunteer to nursing school to full-time nurse. A Filipino nurse can do the work just as well while she is on a European vacation. If not enough American born will learn the profession, somebody else will.

Yep, bc desperate people are ALWAYS wlling to work for less!

Weren't you the one arguing in the other thread that immigration doesn't affect unemployment?

You're a squashed toad on the road, SECOND.

The problem could be solved by higher wages and better working conditions.

I am all for higher wages and better working conditions, but that is not gonna make American-born nurses stop retiring. Nurses are already highly paid. And working in a hospital will not be getting better unless some miracles of medicine are discovered. That leaves you with either hiring Filipino nurses who want to work in America (I know a nurse married to Robert Hobson, an American, who has been waiting years in the Philippines, meanwhile working as a nurse, for permission from the State Department to immigrate) or waiting for some American high school student to decide on a nursing career and graduate from a nursing school four years later.

Yup. He was also the one celebrating that workers were able to quit their low paying jobs when they had state medical insurance and weren't beholden to their company for that freedom, despite him giving me shit for years because I chose not to work before it was cool (See: One of his Leftist shill sites said it was a good thing).

Second's problem is that everything he believes is in stark contradiction with each other.

And today, bringing non-Americans into our country and screwing over people who won't get vaccinated trump higher wages and freedom. They're higher up on the hypocrite pyramid.

My mom was a hospital nurse. It is full of administrative duties and chart-keeping for hospital CYA purposes, and involves little actual nursing. Stressful. Per-hour pay can be OK depending on which hospital corporation you work for, but scheduling is irregular.

I think the pandemic burned a lot of people out. Not just nurses but ALL frontline and "essential" workers. Saw a LOT of my doctors retire or leave fall of 2021, bc even specialists (like my office cardiologist) were pressed into hospital duty for Covid, which was scary.

I guess your doctors never read in high school The Plague by Albert Camus. That novel might have clued them that medicine is not just about getting rich. There is risk, if you're doing it for a higher purpose than money. I read The Red Badge of Courage in high school, which notified me that combat is not all glorious. It is goriest in the aftermath when picking up the bloody pieces. When you become a soldier or a doctor, if you are lucky you might not have to perform for many years, sometimes never, the worst parts of those careers. If you really want to avoid the worst, when a war is coming or a plague is coming, you can quit.

Come to think of it, that is probably why there are many foreign born doctors and soldiers working careers in the USA. If the native born Americans won't or can't, the more sturdy foreigners will and can. These smart and brave foreigners coming to America give birth to smart and brave children who also take on jobs that the average American can't or won't do.
