Alexandra Robbins Quote

Molly had heard that some staff nurses treated agency nurses poorly, but she was surprised now that it was happening to her. If the agency nurses weren’t there, the staff nurses would have a much higher patient ratio, she explained. We make their job easier, but they’re rude and unfair. Another agency nurse had told Molly that one day she had arrived at an ER that had a total of seven patients. The charge nurse assigned her all seven. When the nurse asked why, the charge nurse said, You’re agency. You’re getting paid more than us. You can handle it.
