Zac Schultz:

And from D.C. to Wisconsin, nurses rallied at the state Capitol this week calling for safer staffing levels, better wages, and more affordable education.

Carolyn Miller:

There have been days when Ive had patients that have had 13 drugs running simultaneously. I’m managing more than one patient with all of that going on. I’m monitoring all of their vital signs. And it is my liability, my license, my responsibility to not only the state, but that hospital, to keep that patient alive. We have known for years that our health care system is not working the way it should be. We lack so much infrastructure and we aren’t heard. That is exactly why this march is happening today. It’s time for nurses to say enough is enough.
