Current state of healthcare is scary.

My girlfriend is an ICU nurse and works at a highly reputable hospital in California. She says that the number of nurses quitting or saying they're going to leave relatively soon is quite concerning. The ICU is already pushing for a 1:3 nurse to patient ratio to sustain the shortage. I know this is just one hospital, but this has been a trend since COVID, and the bleed is only getting worse. I see the majority of us are engineers and work in the non-healthcare industry, but this is a problem that will affect us all. Hospitals refuse to pay them better, let alone even treat them better. The current RaDonda Vaught only made matters worse and has honestly scared the living shit out of all the nurses. Do we have any ideas on how to solve the problem, or do we just let it collapse?
