Know a couple of nurses from Canada that got crazy signup bonuses to do nursing in the US.
At my wife’s hospital system (about 4,000 employees) there were usually 100-150 job openings from all across the board. Today there are close to 500 open postings.
An RN can pretty much write their ticket. And a lot of RNs who were unmarried/no kids became “Traveler” nurses…and the money was just crazy.
