Victor, don’t be fooled. These decisions are not in the hands of doctors and nurses, and a no vote will not allow for that. Staffing decisions are made by hospital administrators, not nurses. I left floor nursing years ago because it was impossible to provide quality of care with the chronically understaffed units. If you research hospital CEO salaries, you will see where the money gets spent. It is in the pockets of the insurance companies and the upper administration, not on adequate staffing ratios and patient care.

Patricia, so why don't we first have legislation that caps CEOs` salaries before this one? First things first.
