WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON FACEBOOK AND OUR BLOG

"Nurses at the point of care can't be bystanders and need to get involved in pushing for changes in their workplaces." "Unfortunately, in this day of same-day surgeries and drive-through deliveries, health care providers are too often showing that time is money and too precious to spend with patients." "The amount of reverse sexism in nursing is crazy, even from administration, and it's legally impossible to do anything."
