So I'm an LPN with a Diploma from a tech school. Currently it's school, working towards my RN BSN. Been an LPN for 7 years and have various fields of experience. From geriatric nursing home type of work to currently
clinical dialysis setting. Our workload has been increasing rapidly with no additional help from additional staffing. Our company keeps saying it's because people don't want to work for us. Well with our current wages I can't blame them. I've been with this company for 4 years and have only seen a raises adding up to of a little under 2 dollars. And this was during the height of COVID.
Nursing agencies have been increasing and nurses have been quitting in droves for what these agencies are offering. Pay is basically almost double depending on what cases you pick up. I'm posting here wondering if there are any nurses here who have had any luck with such agencies? I'm at the end of my rope and am tired of being overworked for little pay.
