BTW, my son had hip surgery after a MVA at Beth Israel, generally considered one of the best hospitals in the world, and the nursing care was atrocious. You cannot buy dedication.
True enough! My wife trained at Mass General. Nursing has changed dramatically since she graduated - and not always for the better. Beth Israel, as you noted, is a great example. When Mitch Rabkin was CEO the nursing care was also world class. Personally, I don't believe unions have elevated either the profession or skills of RNs.
