WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"While yippee for all of you older-generation nurses, some of us are really struggling to make ends meet." "My experience is that institutions never get it right. And the continuum of care isn't really there unless you are a person of considerable financial means." "I just left an ICU position because the pace and the nature of the work were simply untenable: 12.5 hour shifts, missed breaks, new staff that need extra education and mentoring, and-worst of all-broken systems that hamper nurses' ability to provide care."
