Our Unit Is Full

Our unit is full and we are short of nurses. One agency nurse called in sick this morning an hour before the shift start. She must be rich to decline the $120 an hour rate for agency nurses. Imagine that if you work 12 hours. $120 x 12 equals to $1,440 for a 12 hours work. Even if you deduct the tax you will still take home more or less a thousand bucks. That's a lot for a day work. I can already buy a Burberry bag or Louis Vuitton bag or maybe a spyderco military for that amount. But I cannot blame her because today is Australia Day and most Australians are having a party.
