    That’s a bit of a you problem.

    But: a nursing shortage is when there are not enough nurses for the number of sick and needy patients. In other words, hospitals and care facilities throughout the US can’t find enough nursing staff to fill out the positions that they need given the amount of patients that they have, i.e. a nursing shortage.

    Saving money with AI and being able to hire more nurses but taking the stupid decision to fire them, doesn’t mean the nursing shortage is manufactured, like you posed. The nursing shortage is still, in fact, very real and a problem of an aging population and not enough people getting into nursing.

    Execs being greedy does not prove the shortage isn’t there.

    And maybe you will find that sealioning and calling people lazy earns you the title of troll more often. So maybe if you don’t want that try to avoid such behaviour.
