Liz Shuler, AFL-CIO joins Thom. An attempt to shortchange hundreds of nurses in
California results in the death of a patient! So will this serve as a lesson on
just how important skilled workers are to our nation?

2. Nurses are over-worked & ALWAYS purposely understaffed-Creates huge profits for hospitals & doctors

incorporated who own big piece of hospital along with many non-tax-paying churches - Doctor are treated like god, they are rich (and many doctors egos believe they are gods) they make all the bucks along with their hospitals.

Nurses are underpaid!

As the AMA makes sure of this - with their bullshit of nursing shortages - Bullshit. doctors & hospitals don't want to pay nurses fairly for the over-stress, understaffed hard work they do....They rather ship in cheaper nurses from other countries....The AMA is always trying to ship in Nurses from other countries, like the Philippines (because they get them to work cheaper) even if they can't speak English, How would you like to be in a hospital bed fighting for your life and your Nurses can't fully understand you? Don't expect the doctor to be around at your beck & call - you could find them on the gold course or at some restaurant country club though.

As Nurses do all the work, while Nurses are always understaffed and under-paid get all the shit!
