Just got one in the mail. It addresses a lot of the things that get tossed around here. Should clarify the issue once and for all.

I did see this that made me a little teeny bit mad in a news item that linked to this article about a nurse strike in CA.

"The base pay for University of California nurses is about $74,328, but nurses with more experience or more demanding jobs can earn more than $122,000, under their most recent contract."

It seems weird to me that the starting nurse salary can be pretty close to starting instructing pathologist and that experienced nurses make close to ASST Prof salary.

I wonder if we will get to the point that nurses and support staff make more than physicians.

I would be curious to see what average pathologist salary was in 1985 compared to average nurse.
 
Today, I received a job survey from APC (association of pathology chairs). I think investigating the problem is the first step.

RE: the nurses salary, Hey I love path - but just don't go into this for money - if you do you will be disappointed. There is no money and no security in this field today.
