I hope you enjoy it

Nurses are dispensible
Nurses in Quebec walk away from the bargaining table because the government has no respect for the work, and hours of work, they put in. The excuse is the nursing shortage, so a nurses health is no where near as important as the patients they care for. There is no better definition of disrespect and uncaring as that. Tell me, would you trust your life to the care of a nurse who has worked a 16 hour day? And if that nurse made a mistake, because of being forced to work overtime, who would you blame? The government or the nurse? I know the answer to that one and it makes me sick!
