eh, no.  Hoffenheim is 5km away by googlemaps, but more like 2km between the edge of either. Hoffenheim is part of Sinsheim.  More like if a Texas State donor moved them to Kyle.

Hoffenheim (German pronunciation: [ˈhɔfn̩haɪ̯m] (listen)) is a village in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It belongs to the municipality of Sinsheim and, as of 2020, it has a population of 3,191.

Obviously the phrasing part was a snafu, but in all seriousness, the impact of corona has led to significantly higher pay requirements for quality RNs. I know this because of the payroll I see every other week full of nurses and shit has gotten real for those of us paying the bills. Also, medical supplies, holy fucking shit with the pandemic and inflation. Anyway … where were we?

Is this another form of your humor?

Complaining about nurses' salaries during a pandemic? Forest-trees???

Fyi, everyone is paying the bills.

Also, I’m not sure your statement that “everyone pays the bills” is valid here. Hospitals/hospital administrators pay the bills. My boss’ wife is a hospital admin in NYC and she’s said that a lot of Northeast hospitals have struggled to be profitable because of problems with labor retention and wage inflation. I would imagine that’s the case in many places around the country. When hospitals aren’t profitable and they start closing, that’s a problem for everybody.

Maybe you should think about this the next time you complain about someone’s knowledge being limited.

@Tex Pete I encourage both of you to dig just ONE millimeter deeper on the problem. Yes, nursing salaries are going up. That isn't the problem.

Complaining about nurses salaries is problem #1, especially now, when thousands of nurses have died from on the exposure caring while they were caring for people.Early in 2020, in NYC, is a particularly instructive example of why you either pay for nursing or people die. Staff shortages, among other shortages, wrecked NYC hospitals. This is why death rates (case fatality rates) specifically in NYC at that time are higher than at any other point in the pandemic. And your care suffered whether you had the infection or not because there wasn't staffing for other standard services because those services were redirected for care of infected people.

Problem #2 is that hospitals in the NE didn't lose money during 2020 and 2021 because Federal funds bailed them out so that's how we all pay for it. Ask your wife's boss. And nursing salaries in the NE cities, relative to cost of living are worse than other parts of the country at baseline. Ask you wife's boss about these staff. And why was it a necessity that hospitals make money specifically in during this time when other industries didn't? Hospital closures have accelerated with with increasing corporate ownership in the space. It's because of thinking about shareholders, not patients.

When you're sick you'd gladly pay for someone to care for you. Hopefully there are nurses trained and available to do this. Paying them for their board skills, now in a time when they risk illness and death, is the least we can do.

Lol. “Skin deep”.

1. The primary cause of high death rates was the city running out of ICU bed capacity/ventilators - you can ask literally any nurse in NYC and they would tell you that. Hiring 5,000 nurses wouldn’t have helped at that point.

2. Yes, Congress approved $300B for hospital aid but this went in concentrated amounts to profitable hospital chains that didn’t need it and ran out. A lot of hospitals still closed in 2020/2021, particularly in rural areas, because the funding didn’t get allocated to them.

This isn’t the hospital/COVID/nurse pay thread so if you feel the need to continue, feel free to DM me.

Jesus he's observing that nurses are more expensive, not saying he's getting cheated or anything. One can be annoyed at the impact on rising costs on one's personal finances without hating nurses or thinking they're not worth it.
