Great! So now nurses are walking out of a children's hospital over insurance contributions? I thought unions didn't like to strike? You seem very happy about your fellow nurses striking, why is that?? This is what makes unions look bad. Would you feel ok going room to room telling the parents of teh patients that since they're asking us to contribute a little more towards our insurance we aren't going to be taking care of your child today?? How greedy can unions be in this day and age. This is about MONEY not patient safety.
