I worked at a University Hospital in Dallas. That hospital closed an entire floor and told the specialized nurses that they employed to find another area or leave. Most left. These nurses had YEARS of experience. One month later the floor was "re-opened" and staffed with new graduates. The most dangerous thing a nurse can get is experience. When you work hard, make the cut, you get laid off so the hospital can hire new grads making much less than an RN with years of experience.

Obviously shooting for quality care.

It is the same in other socialized industries such as teaching. School districts do not hire the most experienced or well educated teachers. They only hire those with no experience and a bachelor's degree. Once you gain experience and a Master's Degree, you are stuck in the district in which you are employed because nobody else wants you. In other words, they are just looking for a warm body to fill a slot. There is no reason to be concerned about customer satisfaction since that plays no part in socialized industries.
