Does # 1,000,000 win something? Can you introduce us?

To whomever is the lucky one, WELCOME!

Specializes in ICU, LTACH, Internal Medicine.

Well, if there is a million of us here, can we finally do something for real instead of explaining the zillion-th time that the Pearson Trick is a fake? Suggestions:

- public campaign about dangers of "customer service" excesses in healthcare?

- "A Total Idiot's Guide to (acute, LTC, home, etc) Healthcare" written by those who provide said care?

- initiative to stop bullying and lateral violence in nursing, profession-wide?

- black list of poorly performing schools/NCLEX courses/facilities which abuse nurses?
