I have not heard that decreased nursing wages is a solution to the 'healthcare crisis.' On the other hand, I haven't heard Senator Clinton explain where her solution gets the funds to put her ideas into motion. Her plan sounds reasonable and goes to the root of a lot of problems, however these proposals need financial backing to work. Again, great ideas for the 'what', no follow through with the 'where, when, how.':icon_roll

I am a LPN of 9 years and a CNA 9 years prior to this. I was a telephone triage nurse for an internal medicine practice for 8 years. This fall I was replaced by two medical secretaries. So, I think that triage as a sub specialty needs to be outlined by the board of nurses. Otherwise, LPNs (and yes, RNs too) hold on to your hats, because you may be replaced by unlicensed staff in this area.
