I am taking a wait and see on this one. While I DETEST regulating ANYTHING, I do see where this is coming from.

I am a nurse and I know that hopitals will pile the patients on even when they lose and drive away their nurses. It makes NO SENSE! Patient ratios are so high that nurses are leaving in droves (I being one of them) yet the hospitals continue to understaff, over load and under pay.

Seems like when a hospital has to close a unit because of a lack of nursing staff they would get a clue. But they just don't.

I too understand where they are coming from, but if hospitals do not want to pay their nurses in the first place, might they attempt to cut costs in other areas?
