4. But government can be the solution, too.

I am not at all surprised that nurses have had little to no training on ebola.

My daughter almost quit her job because after just working her understaffed 12 hour night shift, she was then ordered to go to a 2 hour class starting at 9:00 in the morning. Her shift ended at 7:00 a.m. and she was working again that night.

She told her supervisor that she would do so when they started making the day shift go to classes in the middle of the night. LOL (Of course, her night shift supervisor was actually sympathetic...)

Frankly, I'm surprised she got away with it, but this is what a nurse's life is like. You have to love it to put up with the crap. Overworked for the bottom line. That is a nurse's life.

[Class not ebola related.]
