The way nurse are portrayed, is directly responsible for how patients, employers, physicians treat them.
The poor pay, lack of respect and working conditions they have are directly affected by how people perceive them.
Improve working conditions, a lot more nurses will return to the bedside and encourage others to go into the field.
That didn't require very much stretching.
