the one thing Smith said she needs -- a 100% guarantee that there is no risk involved to her health.

I understand her concerns, but she's a nurse with 17 years experience and says something this idiotic? Hell, I'd probably fire her.

The article fails to note the fact that the socialist authorities are lying: Nurses in Canada have been complaining they are NOT given proper equipment, are grossly mistreated, etc.

People like this have no business being in health care. She should do her patients a favor and quit.

The industry is called "Nursing". Not "Suicide".

Certainly nurses enter their career to help people, but this is the equivelant in some cases of asking a trained nurse to put a gun to their head and pull the trigger.

Canadian leaders have obscurred the truth about SARS but the nursing community has been direct in sharing what they know is happening. They are afraid, and rightly so. They are being asked to provide services under deadly circumstances and they are not being provided with the tools they need to perform their job neither adequately nor without fear of cerain death. Who would work under those circumstances when such could be prevented with proper equipement?

Yet another nightmare brought to Canada courtesy of SOCIALISTS!

I am beginning to wonder what is happening...on one hand they are reporting a relatively small number of SARS cases, but on other side, the nurses are over-worked and demand a salary premium for looking after the "small" number of patients....

Even after offering to double their pay, St. Mike's managed to recruit only 100 volunteers

Even at double their normal salary, it is just barely comparable to US nurse salaries. The tight-wad socalized medicine system in Canada is too cheap to pay what the market demands. So instead they revert to FORCE. Typical of a Socialist State.

It they had thought of tripling the salary, AND giving them decent protection, the market would flood them with volunteers.
