WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"Improving staffing ratios can provide quality care and improved outcomes, and nurses [will be] able to feel that they truly are making a difference." "Overworked and underpaid, understaffed, and yet there are millions of dollars around for upgrades in the facilities but nothing for retaining experienced nurses. It's sad!" "Nurses are the foundation of the health system worldwide."
