Racism (in more ways than one), classism, sexism (both ways), practices that would make a labor lawyer's head spin...poorly run over all.

I told one friend he should write a book about what he sees.

most of my nurses have nothing to bitch about becasue they dont do any work :lol:

Lot of politics and other bullshit to contend with, and thats not even the patients.

Not sure if there is a demand for male nurses but in another female dominated industry, elementary education, there is a demand to get more men to teach and I could see schools being willing to pay a male teacher more.

Really? Where? Our wages are negotiated with the union, so everyone gets paid the same based on years of experience.

I've heard similar from my sister-in-law who is a PA right in your back yard.

See post #7

So a grad nurse who's top of the class gets paid the same as bottom of the class, sounds like union alright.
