Do you think there have been people who tried to get into nursing just for the money? If so how does that harm the "nurse ethic"?

What if PEOPLE get healthier? Well I guess the nurses can be good wives to their husbands who are out working...the old "stay at home mother trick"

With the baby boomers aging, there will be a greater need. Also, as the current childern grow there will be more need in that area.

As the Baby Boomers continue to age, there will be an increased need for nurses. Retirement starts in about five years, will continue for 10 more years and most will live beyond age 75, so you have your work cut out for you.
Nursing is notoriously low pay. It is hard work. It takes a special kind of dedicated person to do the work. No, no one has gone into nursing for the money.

I can tell you that there are nowhere near as many nurses as we need. CA recently-ish passed a law that increased the number of nurses/patient ratio. I'm sure there are those who get into it "just for the money".
It'd be nice if we had more people willing to commit to such a difficult, thankless, and sometimes demeaning job without thought of compensation, but as seen in the shortage this is not going to happen. Even nurses who "do it for the wrong reasons" are better than no nurse at all.
