A grad certificate in critical care is 11k at Uni.
A critical care nurse(ICU) gets about $50-60 a week more only, most have to pay parking of around $25 a day. Its also a job where you work a lot of double shifts as their are few agency backups and you can't leave the unit a nurse down. The Government won't fund enough spots at Uni either so most have to pay the 11k. Good luck retaining what's left after Covid burns them all out...
EB1, I just hit the roof when I read this. Nurses charged for parking! FFS.
Generally speaking I confess to being angered and flabbergasted at how we so poorly remunerate nurses and allied health care workers. P1sses me off, to be candid. Likewise, educators/teachers. Not to mention police and other emergency workers. In a just world these people would be paid substantially more.
I don't begrudge other professions that are paid highly, though some salaries and bonuses boggle the mind when considering the community contribution, or the lack, thereof. I feel a social justice rant coming on, so I'll stop here.
