you are exactly correct.
And it is nothing like factory work, unless you are working on the assembly line underwater with fire overhead and people shooting at you at the same time.
Our Medical system could actually be saved by hiring enough nurses that allow them to work without the resulting burnout.
I cannot work in the facility atmosphere anymore. The bureaucrats and bean counters have made it almost impossible.
I started in nursing when hospitals were mostly private entities and the owners had a vested interest in patients receiving good care.
Then came the big corporations...and it all went downhill. Suddenly...we had to work 12hr shifts, had less personnel to do an effective job....and supplies on the floor were often rationed to a point of being ridiculous.
Burnout became the norm.....and nurses eating their own ...became sport.

When we get to a government single payer system our nursing jobs will look like the ones in GB. We will have many less nurses available and much more to do.
