Just wait till the next time any of you get sick! You'll see just how professional we are!

Arnold Schwarzenegger found out a little bit about that in California when the legislature wanted to pass a law increasing the nurse-patient ratio from 4:1 to either 5:1 or 6:1, I forget which. He was more or less in favor of it until he got a severe bout of gastroenteritis which landed him in the hospital and he saw exactly how hard the nurses were working with 4 patients each. When he got out he told the lawmakers to back the hell off (pretty much his words).

Nurses ARE professionals and you had better believe it! They are going to hear about this. Contact your senators and congresscritters TODAY!
