Pay nurses properly. Pay them a wage that reflects their value to society.
For too many years the nursing profession have had their pay eroded. To the point where it is an embarrassment to our country.
We need to change that and pay them in a way that reflects their vital role to society.
The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated to us that we have been under appreciating certain roles in society. Nurses are a particularly good example.
It is time we change that and pay them a wage that reflects the public mood on this matter.
