Nurse Shortage

Are nurses being payed enough? There is a continuing shortage of nurses. Could it be due to the salary? Some nurses say they want out because they do not make enough money. Families tend to blame them for the illness and doctors are God. What do you think? One of my family members is a nurse and she said she saves lives, but doesn't make near as much money as an electrician or a plumber. Do you think something needs to be changed? To me, nurses should be paid more because they are working to save people's lives. I think we take so many things for granite in this world that we should not.
