Nurse Dot Podcast - The Nursing Pay Gap

In this week’s episode, Cara is joined by nurse leader, innovator, and disruptor Rebecca Love, RN, BS, MSN, FIEL to discuss the forces shaping nursing pay, power, and purpose. Together, they peel back the layers on how nurses became hidden costs in the healthcare system—and what it will take to make them visible, billable, and better compensated. They dive into the deep roots of the gender pay gap, the burnout epidemic, and why many nurses are stuck in roles that drain rather than inspire. Rebecca shares the rise and rapid fall of travel nursing, revealing surprising truths about hospital economics and staffing strategies. Throughout the conversation, she makes a compelling case for transparency, risk-taking, and redefining worth in a system not built for nurses to thrive.
