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?

While I deeply appreciate nurses for all they do, I believe the field is fairly easy to get into and arguably does not usually require very high skill. The ICU can be stressful, no doubt, but compensation there is somewhat higher as well.
The pay is very good - $150k on average and up to 250k DOE, overtime, etc. I believe there will always be a new batch to take their place.
Do you have a specific issue/disagreement with my comments?
If so, highlight the specific issue.
