>Nurses being overworked is simply due to there not being enough nurses.

yes but this begs the obvious question of "why?", which either leads to the immediate thoughts of

1. not enough people want to be nurses 2. companies don't want to hire more nurses

I'm assuming #1 is false, so #2 is the go-to conclusion, at least on the high level. I'm sure I'm missing some more nuanced #3/4/5 explanations, but it does seem to ultimately come down to money that isn't being spent (be it maliciously or simply due to not having the budget).

The obvious #3 is "nurses are doing too much non-nurse stuff" which relates to both #1 (job is annoying and not what I want to do) and #2 in a way (they are not hiring non-nurses and/or investing in equipment, tools, etc).
