Ensuring fair compensation involves a multi-faceted approach: - Policy Advocacy: Nurses and their advocates can work with policymakers to ensure that healthcare budgets allocate sufficient funds for fair compensation. - Union Representation: Strong union representation can help negotiate better salaries and benefits for nurses. - Transparency: Institutions should maintain transparency in their compensation policies, ensuring that all nurses understand how their pay is determined. - Regular Reviews: Regularly reviewing and adjusting compensation packages can help keep them competitive and fair.
