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.

One of our GD’s just was graduated from a top RN school in 4 years versus the 7 year with liberal BS courses.
She had worked as a tech in a Covid Ward at a major east coast hospital for her last 2 summers and weekends.
She got paid well and got full benefits including a 401 K.
She passed the national RN test and was hired as an official RN at the same hospital this fall. Her hourly pay was doubled when she became an RN.
They just promoted her to the head night shift RN for the Covid ICU and regular ICU for 3 ~ 12 mid to 8 shifts in a week. She needs to do ER to be able to do the travel RN jobs.
