"A study
from the University of Pennsylvania
School of Nursing
found that nurses
who worked
12.5 hours
or longer
were three times
more likely
to give a patient
the wrong medicine
or the wrong dose
or commit
some other type of error
than nurses who worked
fewer than
8.5 hours"
3 times !!!!!!
death by the dose
nice study
but ......
klass exploitation
question
nonprofit vs profit
which hospital type
schedules
more
full
12 ers
and
sweet 16ers
more importantly
who
de facto
ends up
operating
with
more nurses
doin over 8 in 24
not just
sweet 16ers
-----------------
