Friendly reminder to people in similar positions that the fact I barely make a living wage as a nurse doesn’t mean the techs with less education than me that I supervise shouldn’t. In fact, if they’re making a living wage, that leaves room for me to advocate to make even more myself. This fight is about us taking from the rich, not from each other, and I refuse to let them control the narrative like that.

They want us fighting eachother, strong move to realize that and put the blame where it belongs.
Tech here!
/hug!!
tbh I might not have bothered getting licensed if not for the pay (and getting ditched out on the unit w/ violent pts & no meds or restraints).
Thank you for the work that you do, and every person working in a hospital today ❤️
Ever considered OR? I’m a surgical tech now but in nursing school, plan is to just switch over to the dark but stay at the same hospital.
One patient at a time. No crazy family members. It’s chill as fuck behind that red line!
It isn’t about taking from the rich either. It’s about letting THEM take less, so there’s more for everyone else. Slight distinction, but they are the ones taking, not the workers.

It should also be said that just because I already paid my student loans off doesn’t mean I don’t want other people to be in debt. Student loan forgiveness needs to be up there with the livable wage.

Yaaas. Let’s uplift each other people! Your fellow workers are NOT the enemy!

There’s some double negation confusion at work here, but I think you wrote that you do want other people to be in debt ;)

Yes. You’re right. Thankfully it seems everyone understands what I meant though. 😊

Student loan forgiveness is regressive by definition (those lucky enough to go to college are a minority that earns on average $0.5 to $1 million more over their lifetimes, than those who don’t), aren’t you against wealth transfers from poorer to richer?

If the goal is free education then yes, there has to be a cutoff somewhere
