9. Right?

Although the nursing shortage is regional. California where I am is extremely competitive (because we're union and start at $82/hr in NorCal hospital systems). Everyone wants a piece of that, so we get nurses from all over the country coming here to get in. It's all about networking. Fortunately, my partner is a high up in a hospital system, but I've also done my own networking at the local hospital and managed to nab a Daisy award as a student there, which is kind of hilarious. So hopefully I can just slide right in.

But there is that story out of New York this week of a dozen nurses being pushed out by AI. It's got people freaked out.
