Nurses recruited to bridge staffing gap in Maryland 

They don't pay much...just more than they make n their country with the opportunity 2 stay & make money while they r here. I've seen many work PRN n other facilities 2 supplement their income once they realize the pay is trash. There is definitely a shortage. U have 2 factor n that 55% of nurses r baby boomers. Many of them r retiring...much of whom simply can't work the bedside due 2 physical restraints. There r nurses who still maintain their licenses, but r not physically equipped 2 do he job. Nurses who r quitting r definitely tired of the BS. It only makes the shortages worse. U also have 2 take n2 consideration not as many people r going n2 nursing like b4. Young people r doing other things & r not interested. The pay doesn't match the responsibility. The new young nurses aren't here 4 it. Then u have 2 factor n the shortage of instructors. My old school is down to 4 nursing instructors from having 10 when I was there n 2018.
