WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
* "My job is hard enough in a stable and safe environment. I cannot imagine what the nurses at the front lines experience." "Nurses are being robbed of the time they would like to spend with their patients, and patients are being robbed of quality care." "Our nurses rode around on almost empty tanks and continued to provide care the rest of the week [following Hurricane Sandy] and beyond to the residents of Staten Island.[horizontal ellipsis] One nurse almost walked into a live wire. Some left their own devastated homes to see their patients."
