National Nurses United has been fighting for nurses and patients. We do not have a nursing shortage. We have a shortage of nurses willing to be part of the broken system that treats nurses and patients poorly, squeezes them relentlessly for profits.

Then there's the added insult of being seen as somehow lesser than doctors rather than equal partners. After all, who is is that administers the meds and does most of the (literal) heavy lifting? Nurses have to know everything the doctors do, in addition to all the additional tasks that they do but doctors don't...

Not crapping on doctors, just wish nurses were seen and respected in the same way.
