Today, many nurses are being laid off, even as our healthcare costs, and health care insurance is rising at 10% year over year.
Not long ago, I was reading in the Wall Street Journal how all the new provisions of ObamaCare had tightened up some challenges in the field of nurses, but in doing so also made more regulations, and more restrictions, which also complicates licensing, and nurse license renewals, while also requiring more on-going education to satisfy the laws.
