Meant to reply earlier. My mom's a retired OR nurse, my sisters a nurse at Boston City, my niece is a nurse at Children's.
Conditions are terrible. At Worcester the nurses walked off over patient care conditions (ratio of nurses to patients etc) after some corporate conglomerate bought them.
All my relatives and thier nurse friends are tired, mentally drained and disenchanted. The hospitals here have brought in a large number of visiting nurses for big money as a short term fix. The issue being a percentage of them don't understand the systems so the full time staff who are earning less and already overloaded have to fix the stuff that wasn't done to standard
They're discouraged to say them least. Most of them with a lot of years on the job.
