Nurses, nurses and more nurses!!!

I am a big fan of Linda Aiken PhD, RN from the University of Pennsylvania who has written many articles providing evidence that the lack of nurses at the bedside increases mistakes with medication administration and even worse, sentinel events, either the patient was seriously harmed or died.  This most recent article explains one of the reasons I am back in school, the need for nursing educators to educate more nurses.
