To be clear, i believe they deserve a high level of compensation it’s just that they’re usually treated badly compared to the societal benefit they provide.
Certainly in the uk the median annual salary is about £26k. The above figures would mean US nurses are earning ~12x more.
I guess the rather different way that healthcare operates between the two regions has a lot to do with it.
Still not as optimistic as the lower bound stated on the parent post which was more like 240k (assuming 48 weeks).
