"...the United States faces a crucial shortage of medical providers, below the projected need for an aging population.

That could have lasting effects on care, particularly in states like Iowa with significant rural populations. Experts say the problem has been building for a while, but the effects of the pandemic accelerated the shortages by pushing many doctors over the edge into early retirement or other fields."

_The Evening Post_, 9 March 1924:
A GENEROUS GIFT
A very generous gift has been given to the New Zealand Trained Nurses’ Association by Mr. J. Johnston, Matai road, Hataitai. The gift is a cottage standing four acres of land in #Opua Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound, about 14 miles from Picton. This he has handed over to the Nurses' Association for all time, to be used by them as a rest home. The council had therefore decided to make it as comfortable and attractive as possible so that it may prove a joy and benefit to many tired #nurses. It amongst our of the first gifts of this kind given to the nursing women, and all nurses appreciate Mr. Johnston’s kind thought, and hope to spend some happy days in this beautiful sunny spot.

TIL there's a gig app for nurses, like Uber or Rover.

And that app purchases the nurse's credit history before it offers them a shift.

So it knows specifically how much credit card debt they owe AND if it's past due.

If that seems ok to you, consider this:

It THEN offers a shift with a wage... the more debt and past due, the LESS $$ they are offered.

Because the more desperate they are, the more likely they'll take shit pay.
