The main complaint was a shortage of nurses, and that the nurses apparently weren't being paid very well. I bet the "nurses" are merely some sort of licensed care giver. RNs make very good money, and I can't imagine an RN would forego the wages paid at a hospital for the minimum paid in a nursing home.
