Registered nurses have a war cry of their own.
They've had it with staffing conditions that compromise patient care and their own health and practice. But unlike the fictional newsman, they have been fighting back in concrete ways. Some have gone on strike to gain strong contract language that addresses their concerns. Others have lobbied for state legislation or other regulatory measures. Still others are documenting and publicizing the connection between adequate RN staffing and quality patient care.
