Yet RN salaries and benefits altogether represent only about 16 percent of total hospital costs. Nevertheless, nurses are a major target of hospital restructuring plans, which in some cases have called for a reduction of 20 to 50 percent in registered nursing staff.
The series is an adaptation of the Longmire mystery novels written by best-selling author Craig Johnson. While the story is supposed to take place in northern Wyoming, the series is being filmed in several locations in New Mexico: Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Eagle Nest, and Red River.
The third season of Longmire aired from June 2 through August 4, 2014. On August 28, 2014, A&E announced it would not renew the series. Warner Horizon Television shopped it to other networks, and on November 19, 2014, Netflix picked up the show. The entire series is available for viewing online via Netflix.
