#1 We have nurses going there now for the money. Seems like this is strike time of the year. Nursing shortages here also. Brutal work schedules. One worked 80 hours and was asked to stay over but foot pain prevented her. She went home and looked at her foot and the bottom was black. She goes to her doctor and she is sent to the hospital. While in hospital work called as to when she could return. She was discharged to rehab stay in Nursing home. Might lose her foot. 30 years in Nursing and now this. She just turned 50 years old.

#3 ^6 an unfortunate truth but fewer visits to medical results in fewer deaths. This was tracked at one time but was known to myself many years ago.

#4 Do you need to have a nursing license in Minnesota? If not they are probably tapping a small pool of willing nurses since they'd probably have to work alongside the strikers at some point.
