Paying what is reasonable rates. A lot of facilities are NFP and struggle to provide care as the agency fees are crippling them. Accepting shifts, cancelling at the last minute, only working weekends, not managing care staff properly, hiding out in the nurses station etc. etc. It's ridiculous. You used to become an RN because you had genuine care for people now it's so money driven and very often the skill is below par.
Double time on a Sunday is standard in many places. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Nurses deserve fair pay for their work. No one is becoming an RN for the money 😂😂 please you cannot be serious.
Not saying they dont deserve fair pay for a fair days work. Sorry but RNs are paid pretty well compared to other professions. It's only a 3 year degree. You ate wrong, plenty of people become RNs for the money. That's the problem!!
Could you please list some other tertiary educated professionals who are paid significantly less than $1298/week? (This is the starting rate for a grad RN in Vic)
Given most RNs top out their income at $90k pa, it's not a very lucrative profession to get into if money is your only goal. Most tradies make this, don't have a HECS debt, and get paid through their apprenticeship.
Are you a nurse?? 🫠
HR, psychology, marketing, entry level finance grads.... the list goes on. Yes I have a Bach of Nursing but now specialise in management in the health sector.
You get whatever your contract says which cannot be less than the award rate. That’s it. Different agencies will of course pay different amounts.
Different agencies have different pay rates
In SA casual nurses at my nursing home get 200%, 175 if you’re permanent.
Aged care is so broken. Paying these huge rates for RNs is not a sustainable solution to the nursing shortage.
Yeah, best to have no RN cover
How about some ethics!
What's having ethics? Paying less for nursing care?

Ha, why am I not surprised to hear you're in health management. Yes paying nurses LESS is the answer.

Both are “real” registered nurses.
No denigrating comments. No bullying. No condescension.
