Appalling "solution" to nursing shortage

[Mr. Bloom]

Aquila: I do believe your perspective may offer some insight into the motivation from the employer perspective.

Overall, I think we'll all agree that there are very strange consequences of this policy/program:
- an influence of "appearance" on perceived quality of care
- a need to staff the cosmetic surgery procedures further exacerabating the staffing problem

But, at the risk of creating a tangent, it's kind of like the "Wal Mart Debate"...does "Wal Mart" put local grocers out of business? No, it's the people who demand what Walmart offers...who then stop shopping at the local stores.

IMHO, It's the same here: if there's fault, it's not in the "offering" (by the providers), it's in the "wanting" (by the consumers who represent a potential employment pool). But, on sum, I'm not appalled unless it affects the availability and quality of care.

This is in Czechoslovakia, right? Let's not forget that the culture, while
Western in a general sense, is very different from the US.

[Mr. Bloom]

The Slovaks would point out that there are differences between them and the Czech Republic as well They're two different countries since 1993

I'm wondering what kind of nurses this will attract?
