Thank you to everyone who signed!!! I would like to reply to the posts by saying... I'm just a nursing student who would like to raise awareness about how nurses need more protection from needlesticks Yes, I know 100 signatures will do nothing in this situation, 100 signatures was just the factory setting on the sight, but at least it's a start. It can't hurt. The point I see is - there are less people getting diseases when the safety needles are being used. It's not the nurses fault that they weren't properly trained so the safety needles would be good for them, especially new nurses. Maybe only needles used for drawing blood should be retractable or at least safer. I dunno, that's something I figured the experts could figure out once there is a million signatures.

i just created a petition entitled the president of the united states: make retractable safety needles mandatory in healthcare settings, because i care deeply about this very important issue. i'm trying to collect 100 signatures, and i could really use your help. to read more about what i'm trying to do and to sign my petition, click here: [color=#234786]http://www.change.org/petitions/the-president-of-the-united-states-make-retractable-safety-needles-mandatory-in-healthcare-settings?share_id=rzqynuhwjk&pe=d2e it'll just take a minute! once you're done, please ask your friends to sign the petition as well. grassroots movements succeed because people like you are willing to spread the word!
