“You are looking at today’s numbers. You must not live in Georgia”
I live in Northeast Georgia. I travel regularly on backroads through Middle and Southeast Georgia. I know almost every small town between Greensboro and Brunswick. I quoted current Covid numbers because those, along with other factors affecting demand for hospital services, drive the current demand for nurses. I notice you have retreated from your claim that starting RN salaries begin at $15/hour.
Then if you live in Georgia you should remember that Putnam was hit very hard early on in the CoVid onset. A nursing home swamped the hospital in Putnam
