Hospitals offering sign-on bonuses to hire nurses in Southwest Florida

Early on in the pandemic, nurses were let go as hospitals were forced to scale back on what treatment and surgeries they could perform. Now there’s a desperate need to bring those nurses back and area hospitals are hoping large sign-on checks will work. Nurses were burned out and exhausted and afraid they could easily become infected with COVID-19, so it’s no surprise lots of them quit during the pandemic. Knowing what they know, would more money convince them to return?
