Value nursing

Offer nurses a choice of free childcare, free parking or free meal at work. Or choice of two. Or all three. Depending on how high the need is in any particular place. 

Offer student loan pay off in return for bonded period.

    All on the healthcare team should be valued and offered free or subsidized meals, parking, childcare not just doctors.
