As a fellow health care
As a fellow health care professional, I completely agree with the nurses. I have also been a patient at one of these hospitals and understand what their concerns are. I recieved excellent care, but you could tell that the poor nurses were tired and worn out. The patient load on each nurse is too much for one nurse.
