I know your special lady friend is a nurse (right?), so you probably know more about that than me, but my special lady friend looked into it a while back and said there are tons of nursing jobs advertised, but they all want prior experience (pretty typical of most jobs, really). If the problem is not being able to afford more nurses, then maybe hospitals should bust the nurses union and pay them a little less? I don't know, honestly, so I'm just throwing ideas out there. The argument would then seem to be, if you pay them less the job becomes less attractive, attracts lower quality nurses, etc...Then I was going to say, health care professionals across the board should take a little less money, but then you get into the problem of how much school costs for these people, and that they should be making really good money. So then I was going to say, maybe school should be more affordable? Which made me realize that all of this shit is interconnected. It doesn't seem to me that you can tackle something like healthcare without also dealing with tuition costs, insurance companies, unions, etc...
Basically, fuck.
