Nursing

I am a registered nurse. Most of my 10 years of nursing has been spent in long-term care facilities. I have a theory. Workers are classified by legal credentials, but legal credentials don't necessarily mean ethical credentials, meaning that if your grandmother needed counseling she would get it from a certified nurse's assistant rather than an RN or a counselor. The low paid certified nurses assistant is my anchor at my job, they are warriors and they will sing your mom to sleep. It's not right that they are paid the same amount to take care of you as you would pay to get your hair cut? How is this a society that makes sense if you give a shit about anybody you love because guess what, they WILL get sick.
