Nurses certainly work harder and under more life and death stress than our elected officials...for a lot less pay and a lot less recognition...at least she apologized, but once out of the gate, pretty hard to take back those words...when one is tired and not so guarded, I think the true sentiment is expressed and hers was very misguided and ugly...
I give her props for this line: "I really don't believe nurses at our critical access hospitals spend their days playing cards, but I did say it, and I wish I could reel it back," But I have to wonder... where did she come up with a crazy idea anyway?
