[Brian, ASN, RN]

I hope you all had the opportunity to view this episode of 20/20. If you did not see the show, I am in the process of trying to get a transcript from 20/20, as soon as I do, I will post it here.

Meanwhile, please share your viewpoints and experiences, by posting your messages in this forum. Thanks

This is a post from wwnurse.com, "Nursing Issues/Concerns...., 20/20 Segment...," that is copied and pasted here:

"Your a little late in getting started but welcome to the band wagon. Several nurses over the past year got together and formed the Concerned Nurses Group. We are hosted by HospitalHub.com. We have been writting letters to legislators, giving info to 20/20 for their story, writting and publishing articles. Nurses need to be heard. Keep encourageing them to do so. If you want to see our articles, visit www.hospitalhub.com/community/cng/index.html

Sincerely,

ForMoe"

The 20/20 view to me was accurate to a point but, I don't think it had the impact it was intended to have. It showed some cases that could be viewed as isolated and not common.
