There's a bunch of angles on this. A lot of it is government and union insanity. Knowing some nurses and hearing about the weird angles people abuse sick days, overtime etc. sounds basically like every other professional union jobs I've encountered.
Then you get bureaucrats who don't understand what is happening on the ground pulling strings in a totally illogical way just making everything worse.
I'd be curious to know how the less insane countries deal with staffing and managing these positions, because this can't be the best way to do it.
