To be pedantic, there are a shortage of nurses in hospitals, due to manufactured conditions.
Yes. There are plenty of people willing to do the job, including all the nasty shit they deal with, but then they see the pay and it's simply a better decision to push papers around instead.
The willing to do the job is also being used against the nurses. Strikes are very difficult for them, because they have a real responsibility and it is extremely hard to stop caring for the patients.
It's not the pay that's driving them away, it's the understaffing.
The pay (most places) is fine, if they just added 30% more staff. The fact that they need to work 12 hour shifts with zero breaks, and the only time they can sit is when they need to get on a computer to file paperwork is awful.
They have plenty of money to hire admins and CEOs, but no money to properly staff the nurses, techs, and doctors.
Hire enough nurses to COMFORTABLY work the shifts, then you won't have them quitting constantly, then you won't have understanding.
The strike should take the form of continuing patient care, but refusing to do any paperwork or anything else required for patient billing.
