- Comment on Uber for Nursing: How an AI-Powered Gig Model Is Threatening Health Care - Roosevelt Institute 3 days ago:
I know this industry and this article is very misleading. These companies do not use credit rating or debt to determine shift availability or wages. The article just says they “could” while claiming the criteria are opaque. They are not. They all have documentation that describes how rates are set. What’s more, many states set minimum rates for these jobs. The “algorithm” for setting the pay rate are based on bonuses given for nurses that are willing to work multiple shifts at the same location specifically to encourage facility affinity to support continuity of care or to ensure coverage during holidays, weekends, etc.
Most of these platforms do have live interviews in addition to background check, credential verification with state boards, and vaccination verification. Onboarding to a facility is accomplished with online learning courses for fire and safety, floor procedures, and care plans. Per diem nurse agencies have existed for decades to deal with variability in patient census and uncertainty around schedule has been a part of that since the beginning and is not unique to digital agencies.
It does not put negative pressure on wages for full time employees and no facility would fill a shift with an agency nurse instead of with a full time nurse because the full time nurse costs less. These agencies are only used when there aren’t a sufficient number of full time nurses on staff to meeting patient/staff ratios, which is often. Every single facility that uses an agency has openings for full time nurses that they struggle to fill.

If you have balanitis: wash your penis every day using just water or an emollient (moisturising treatment) gently pull back your foreskin and wash the area with warm water. dry gently after washing. if you use condoms, choose condoms for sensitive skin. wash your hands before peeing or touching your penis

This is a shitty meme because that dude was so religious he would never touch a wiener unless is was on the Lord Jesus Christ. Then he would personally guide it wherever his Lord desired, playing with His balls and rimming Him all the while.
