The heroes of the Covid pandemic in America. Thank you.
Inside a Covid I.C.U., Through a Nurse's Eyes. "Leadership in the pandemic has not come from elected officials or spiritual guides, but has come from a group that is underpaid, overworked, and considered secondary even in their workplaces. As so many others have dropped the ball, nurses have worked tirelessly out of the spotlight to save lives. Often showing more concern for their patients then for themselves."
Under paid and over worked? I know many nurses. They are all very well compensated for their skills. They don't work any harder than garbage men, plumbers, teachers, bussers/servers, and any number of other professions.
This is just a weak attempt at virtue signaling.
@linxminx what you describe regarding wage discrepancy goes on in every profession. Each profession has their own cross to bear. COVID has just increased the amount of “work” . But the same can be said for morgue workers, morticians, grave diggers, etc.
I am in no way trying to diminish the critical role nurses play. Just that there are so many critical roles that people play that should be considered.
@linxminx You're worth what the market will pay for your skills. Nurses are skilled. They're compensated commensurate to those skills. They could always go get more skills, take on more responsibilities or choose another profession.
It's tough to argue you're overworked when you keep showing up for checks.
And OP is def virtue signaling.
