Please come sign a petition to lower the nurse-to-patient ratio in Nevada. Hospitals are increasing our patient load and nurses are leaving the state. We already have the least amount of nurses in all 50 states. Please help us by signing a petition. Go to:

Before I moved out here I saw what the shortage of competant nurses has done for patient care. My uncle had carotid atery surgery. I can appreciate that it would be hard to tell if a person had a stroke while they are asleep. I cannot , however accept that a stroke victim would be left in his own filth for over 4 hours after he was awakened. When I questioned the nursing staff I found that the nurse on duty was responsible for , not 4 rooms like I expected, but 20 double occupancy rooms . Needless to say I was a bit angery.

BTW I signed the petition.
