Got a note from the health reporter at the newspaper......

[P_RN]

She asked for feedback about the nursing shortage. I told her about what I knew, but that my experience was pretty limited since I have been out of work.

Would any of you like to give her feedback? If so, I'll give her e-mail address here, but only if you are willing.

I did tell her that she needs to speak with REAL nurses and not the Ivory Tower type.

Thanks

From NRSKarenRN: "Patients are hospitalized for NURSING CARE with some physician intervention, but it is the 24hr NURSING ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION that is needed."

I never thought of hospitalization in such a simple and accurate statement.

Thanks.
