  7. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I would be looking at the $$$s after a pay and not thinking "at least won't have to pay for a hospital bill". My attitude would change if I did get a bill of course. I'm confident that the...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    OK, that's nice. So for you a cut in pay doesn't matter because you only had to pay $15. I get it, that cool. I never said if any cut of pay would be good or bad. Some are just assuming that if a...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Well Grumpy. You are making way too much over a question. I'm sure it is fitting. If you like you can include "pay cut with the benefit of free healthcare and maternity leave". What's wrong by the...
