Whoa, whoa, whoa..... how did this become an issue of race. I’m speaking as a health care professional, who just happens to be black, about the level of care that patients will get if there are NOT ENOUGH nurses or if the NURSES SALARIES were capped. That had nothing to do with race. AND wouldn’t it be a positive thing if welfare mothers were educated enough to be nurses. They would not be on the public dole.
The registered nurse goes through a very rigorous curriculum learning body systems, pathologies, treatments, medications and their actions and alterations in body systems. It is not just about handing out pills and changing bandages. The nurse is the one who saves you when the doctors are no where to be found.
And if local street corner thugs are turned into doctors, wouldn’t that be a positive thing if they gave up their old ways and contributed to society?
I, too know exactly how bad it will get under salary capping.
My post is NOT about race. It is about how the BILL makes it about race.

Again, I did not make it about race. Yes, it would be positive. The point again is that the bill forces med/nursing schools to make it about race by profiling both the neighborhoods and the students to find out how best to match the local population and the patients, with new med/nursing students. That goes far beyond affirmative action.

I know. My wife is nurse. I know exactly what nurses go through.

Pipe dream.
