In this episode, Sara and Amie dicuss a hot topic! The controversial use of agency nurses and Internationally Educated Nurses. Using both were supposed to solve the problem of short staffing, but has it helped? They discuss price gouging, short staffing, costs to healthcare organizations, and holding agencies accountable.
Little public information about how much is being spent on agency staff, and most of it is anecdotal. Don't hate the player-hate the game!
