> 4. Nurses are the catch all for jobs. Not enough aides? Nurses do the work....
The nurses aides would argue that they do the majority of the frontline work while getting paid a fraction of what the nurses make, and get even less credit.
Most of the nurses I talk with speak about a lack of nurse aides. When there isn't a nurse aide the nurses have to do that work. When I speak of a lack of them I know nurses who can go multiple consecutive shifts without an aide working the floor. When they do work there is 1 aide to a floor and can't cover everyone so the nurses do that work.
