Senator Says Nurses Don’t Need Breaks As They Spend Most Of The Day Playing Cards, Nurses Respond With Sarcastic Pics

Goverments should invest much more time, laws and resources in ensuring proper health care.In Spain we dont have doctors or nurses enough. It is so bad thaf my sister was sick today and the next apointment that she could do to vusit her house doctor was in May... By that time she will either be cured or really sick...

Maureen is a representative from Easter WA, code word for pro business and low on IQ points. Trust me, she's a twit. The state nursing association thinks too much turnover is bad for patients, they think 12 hour shifts are fine.They are nurses. Nurses know what they are talking about.

I once read somewhere that politicians, actors, and other entertainers tend to score very high in narcissistic traits. Since some politicians have also been actors and entertainers, it's possible to get a double whammy of narcissism.

I think the problem with many politicians, is that they just don't care. They don't see us as human beings, with thoughts, feelings, needs and precious lives. Instead, we're statistics. A means to make money from. Worker drones. We aren't important; rich tycoons, CEOs and the like are important to them. Most of them have never had to survive in the real world like the rest of us, they're from rich families who have sheltered them from reality since birth. That's the only thing that can explain the truly moronic things that come out of their mouths.

You think that's bad? Here in Québec hospital administrators routinely force nurses to work double shifts if someone doesn't show up for work because those administrators are too lazy to find other solutions to understaffing. After that we wonder why nurses leave the profession. You can't screw around with people's lives like that without it having an effect on the hospital's ability to retain staff.

They all have concierge care and probably never see the inside of a "public" hospital or office.

Here in Mexico City, for three months, various government hospitals are not working full sifts because nurses and doctors are on strike. You have to see their side of the story, not payments. And still, they are working.

My neighbor's husband is in a wheelchair and spent some time at the hospital for medical procedures. She found out how the nurses rarely get a chance to eat. She tried to bring them snacks as much as possible, but the hospitals had strict rules about food consumption and breaks. This needs to change. There should be time for nurses to take care of their own basic needs. Unfortunately..there aren't enough nurses.

Republicans generally don't want people to be alive and comfortable, unless they're unborn babies.

Nurses should have shorter shifts and more breaks both because they deserve it and because less tired nurses are able to provide better care.

I live in the UK. I'm disabled and chronically ill, so am a little too familiar with hospitals for my liking. I'm also an ex care assistant. If I ever needed something as an inpatient, I was always apologetic and grateful, because that's a thankless job and nurses are taken for granted far too often.

She does not have enough braincells to process information and make lifesaving critical decisions on her feet. Most of all she lacks the empathy to care for the sick and the dying as evidenced by how she underestimates the profession of nurses.
