Washington state lawmaker's comments raise ire of nurses.
FILE - In this Jan. 9, 2017 file photo, Sen. Maureen Walsh, R-Walla Walla, right, takes the oath of office on the opening day of the 2017 legislative session at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. Sen. Walsh has angered nurses by commenting in a speech that some nurses may spend a lot of time playing cards in rural hospitals. The Olympian reports that state Sen.
Small, rural hospitals that literally serve a handful of individuals will have trouble staying open and nurses in those settings probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day, the newspaper quoted Walsh as saying. Thank you of alerting me to a group that even I am not stupid enough to piss off. Ever, Griffin tweeted.Recruiting nurses to rural facilities already is difficult and exempting them from laws requiring uninterrupted breaks and subjecting them to mandatory overtime would make recruiting more difficult, the Washington State Nurses Association said.
