The average public member thinks we get paid more than registered nurses and over $100k a year, spend lots of time at station waiting for callouts and get never-ending support from the service.
The truth is we get paid less than enrolled nurses, spend 12 hours on shift with no meal breaks, no rest pauses and if we have a problem with any of it we get "managed" out of the service.
