If physicians had even 1/10 of the intestinal fortitude that nurses do when it comes to advancing an agenda and getting paid you would see a lot more 35 hours/week jobs for 400k+.

You have it backwards. Nurses are followers by nature. They're all told to join the union, nursing association, tithe to the PACs and they do. Every SRNA signs up to join the AANA before they even set foot in the classroom.

Their political power is largely based on the fact that they're a herd easily led by a few ambitious schemers.
 
Since the shift from professional to employee it will need to catch up to have some kind of organized representation. Currently learning professional courtesy only to get shafted for it as a wage slave. Sure I'll work most of the hours of the day! Oh no need to pay. ..it's part of my professional ethic!
 
"The nurses did not, however, achieve their primary objective—a mandatory, minimum staffing rule that would have set fixed nurse-to-patient ratios."


Anyone else read this line?

Which was probably the thing they claimed to be striking over in the first place, in the name of patient safety, but like most humans, caved in the face of a fat raise.

It would be bad negotiation tactics to get the minimum staffing. You can go onstrike claiming dangerously low staffing (huge increase in hospital cost) and then take a pay raise instead (smaller increase in cost). Doing this keeps the staffing ratios available as the issue of record for your next strike that is secretely just reaching for another pay raise.
