I have several friends who are in the healthcare fields and they talk all the time about the shortage of qualifed, caring workers. When I started college, my first major was hospital administration. But I soon moved on to other things. Can't even remember why at this point. Perhaps I should have stayed where I was. I'd be in high demand right now! Thanks for this post.

She was blocked on a technical point about the type of high school she attended because she could not take gym classes. It was a girls vo-tech. Anyway, she was not allowed, at that time in the '40's to attend the school. Throw in a wee bit of racism perhaps also. But she was really good and my "shero", it was before I was born and only have her stories An additional note on my mom, she was soooo good that a group of doctors were going to send her to school for her RN.

Too much is at stake. They make lousy nurses when they do. This is only based on my experience and observation. No one appreciates an uncommitted health care professional without compassion as well as expertise. My mom was a nurses aide and she used to get in trouble for feeding patients when they wanted her somewhere else. I know one thing, Claudia, no one should enter the profession just for the bucks.

She was in a hospital and the shifts and work was grueling. Another friend was a visiting nurse and had to come home and do incredible amounts of paperwork on her own time. The pay is difficult for many in this profession. They should be commended for sticking it out and being the caring people they are in spite of this.
