Just wanted to let everyone know that NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams is doing a story about nurses TONIGHT.

Well that was absolutely worthless.

Did I miss something here or did they NOT interview a nurse from the "trenches"?

[moonischasingme1]

Hmm, no new information, but still good to see it being reported.

Yeah, it was pretty pointless. Why didn't they actually talk to the nurses, instead of just filming them in silence?

And all the little nursing hats and the shots of the old time nursing school grad pics.

*sigh*

I'm betting the hospitals where they filmed the "action" shots wouldn't allow the staff to speak on camera.

What about getting out of my face all the time about "customer satisfaction" and let me do my damned job?

Yep - I agree with you guys - no new info and no real view of the staff nurses' life. Need to pay instructors more but that is old news too.
