I’d love to be the nurse who treats her next inevitable heart attack. Or blunt-force trauma. Whichever comes first.

If she is a good nurse, she will treat her like every other patient.

But the nurse can be snarky as hell while doing so. And “miss” a few extra times when putting in IV / drawing blood.

This was my thought too. Give the same standard of care but make sure she’s miserable the entire time.

Lets assume he is right they get more breaks then normal. I would assume the days they get no breaks due to chaos make up for it.

She wasn’t arguing against it. She added an amendment that would give an exemption to hospitals with 25 beds or less. Which also passed.

She was against the bill initially and tried to amend it because it was going to pass.

In context, it was simply a comparison of rural nurses to metro nurses.

And she was proposing to make working conditions worse for nurses in rural hospitals because nurses already don't like those hospitals.

Yes, she was claiming the mandate might effect patient care at rural hospitals. Context matters and everyone is ignoring the facts.

She. And she was making a comparison of rural nurses compared to metro nurses and how they have different work loads

7 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 1

But they don't, not really. They are held to the same nursing ratio as metros... less patients just mean less nurses. In fact (continued)

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Fewer patients likely means even fewer employees. Less techs/CNA's to share work loads with that larger metro hospitals have resources for.

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Possibly. Rural areas also pay less so you could have 2 or 3 rural nurses for the cost of 1 metro nurse. 1/
