It sounds nurses just need to be paid more, or travel nurses need to be paid less. Equilibrium is probably somewhere between the two extremes.

Apropos of nothing but why is the knee jerk reaction "we need executive action to fix this staffing problem?"

Why would travel nurses need to be paid less?

If wages equalized, it's unlikely they would all equalize to the top of the range. It's more likely to be somewhere in the top quartile or quintile.

Why would they equalize? I assume there is a premium required for not going back to one’s own home everyday.
