And all $100k+ jobs are not in crappy locations, we spend 8 months at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville (10 min from the beach)… and I’m sure there are lots of RNs doing well up there especially moving up the ladder from entry level to maybe getting into the OR or Oncology units. To be fair, some departments (like in the hospital post surgery floors) at the Mayo are also short staffed but I think that might be due to just a shortage of RNs.

Yep tell that to a 18 yo, that future is more important than the next 4 years. Health care is not the calling it used to be. I have 45 plus years in Operating Room, and counting. The reason hospitals are short is many retired during the two year hiatus of Covid. With the option of returning, however most chose to just walk away.
We could see what every position made in my system that owned 300 plus facilities, all over the country. It was incentive to post hourly wages from starting to top. Oncology for an RN, not much up grade.
ICU, ED, OR, are at the middle, depending on added on certification. However, $100,000 isn’t in any RN scale. NP, ORNP, PA, PAOR, can make six figures, but not all.
House RN mom, which was mid management, but never enough money to put up with all the crap.
Even with many of us working 60 plus hours a week durning Covid, $100,000 was never in the mix. Many were furloughed or hours cut.
Both of us have 45 years each in multi healthcare facilities, our kids, are Doctors, PAOR and RNOR, certified.
Granddaughter is started med school this year, trauma orthopedic is her passion, like her grandfather. But conversation this weekend was “ I just figured out by the time I finish residency, I will be $700,000 in debt”. And then I still have to enter into my trauma orthopedics specialty.
She said sometimes she questions debt could reach a million dollars and will it worth it. Then she goes to cadaver lab, sees how fractured bones could have been repaired better, and knows it’s all worth the money,
