Why should I relate to you all the troubles I'm going through with jobs?
Advertisements [?]
I just quit my employment of 14 years. I keep a professional license as a NAC... Nurse Aide Certified. This type of job might not be a big thing to you, (not glamorous enough), but it's a big thing to me. It wasn't easy quiting this job. I felt I had to after the for-profit-corporation decided to drastically increase my patient load to increase profits. One day, I found myself with thirty patients to care for on the night shift. Of these thirty were eight medicare and about half of them alert. There was no way one aide could keep up with this kind of patient load. I quit.

I'm asking you people, here on the DU Lounge, are we going to allow corporations to ruin our heathcare system? Or is it already ruined?
