Who are you to say my kid is not resilient enough? Do you know in particular what families are going through? They are not adults. How do you know there is something coming up for that child? You're assuming too much. How do you know the kid is not really sick? Do you have testing? You just diagnose they are faking it?

I don't mean to argue with other workers telling them my work is worth more. Im telling my employer that HEY! You have to pay me for my education, risk, and my work! I expect a Dr. to be paid higher than me. I think everyone should be paid more than what is considered FAIR in this society. But professionals need to be paid for what they invested in education and practice. All EMPLOYERS need to understand that labor is worth a hell of a lot more than they are paying us as they take most of the profit behind closed doors in back rooms. I say a worker at McDonalds should be able to sustain a life on their wage and that means make more than $25/hr. It also means that my pay should be higher too. EMPLOYERS WANT US TO FIGHT LIKE THIS SO THAT THEIR ABUSES ARE NOT IN FOCUS. EMPLOYERS NEED TO PAY US MORE. Productivity and profits have risen exponentially since the 70s and pay has stayed practically stagnant as they increase work hours and work loads on less people. I'm not fighting other workers.

... and it's not eligible to participate in the incentive program either (sarcasm) wow. I didn't know professionals were expected to work for entry level minimum wage.

I think it needs to be compared to other professions because it has to do with the worth of what we do physically and mentally for doctors and patients and the risks taken during work. Nursing is a highly intellectual & physical field. We take on disease risks. We take on health risks from non stop stress, infreq to no breaks for something as human as drinking and eating and sitting. We are communicating with others most of the time. It's non stop. The thing is this can be fixed easily by hiring more nurses and staff instead of loading up a nurse with 2-3 patients worth of work. I want 2-3x pay and the CNA pay on top. But no, I won't work long this way. The hospital as adapted to their revolving door and use it to hire cheaper. All corps are running too lean and they don't care what we think about it until employees leave. No one wants to live a life like this. Quality of life matters. Also, this is a female dominated field. Women, from what I've witnessed and experienced, seem to always be assigned the busy, detailed, care work in life, putting everyone before themselves. This field takes advantage of that and many other fields do the same to women. We don't even have an equal pay law and it's 2021. We're talking keeping people alive. Seems like this society rewards making people money more than making people healthy. And for those who say to this, "Yes, that's the way the world works", it doesn't work. It's not sustainable and we are bearing witness to this now. PS: CEO/Admin pay is overinflated. Nurses should be in the 6 figures now. Professionals should be making 6 figures.
