  And all of a sudden rural America fell in love with open borders and immigrant workers.
context: Many rural nurses (mainly nurse aides, the core of any nursing home) are making 10-13/hour to start, if not less. These folks also have to go through a licensing process similar to LPN/RNs (though not nearly as extensive). Long hours, very hard work, and constant stress due to residents that are so demented (due to age and/or illness) they verbally abuse these nurses daily, if not hourly. >
  
  i has septis about 4 monts ago i was in the hospital for 17 days and then in the nursing home for 3 months of rehab i was there so long as at first they wanted me to rest and see if my heart would recover from the septis or if they would need to put part of a pigs heart in me im lucky i didnt need the pigs heart! but while the time i spent in the nursing home they were quite short staffed but they did thier best  yea i had to wait for stuff no big deal to me but my roommate was quite nasty to them all and alot of others as well and violent i couldn't wait to get out of the nursing home they had like 1 nurse to 40 people that i swear worked 24 hour shifts and quite a few cna's would sit down and vent about all the hours and pay and other things it wich was ok to me i know 1 saw at least 1 person every day hurt themselves trying to pickup or move a 2-300 pound person by themselves yes they had devices but no time to go get them and the worst was the family members thinking a nursing home that ran mostly on medicade patients was  a ritz carlton hotel instead of a old peoples warehouse!  as far as im concerned they should be paid a WHOLE lot more they dont have to worry about bullets flying but they have to watchout for about everything else! >
  
  Part of the problem is that they are just shit places to work. Shit management isn't something that legislation can fix >
  
  What can the administration reasonably do?  If you want more staff, pay better wages. >
  
  Offer better pay and benefits! Also treat people with dignity. Problem solved. >
  
  Pay people more.  That’s how you can address this shit.  Good lord.
