Nurses are the ones to get fired if anything goes wrong on their unit. We are expendable, and we are often the fall guy when things go wrong in the hospital. <br/><br/>I've never hidden the fact that I have a blog from my employer, and I've always invited my boss to read my blog. I've always been an outspoken individual. I've given testomony about health care issues in our state in front of our state legislature, and I've lobby for changes in the health care system on Capitol Hill. If I am ever told to stop blogging, I'll quit my job and move on. I'm a writer and a political activist. That's just who I am, and I cannnot and will not change.<br/><br/>MJ Hi Cliffie:

I can still see those 45's spinning on the turntables. <br/>That was long before anybody heard of Michael Moore and his feud with GM for destroying that town when they pulled out. Your outcoming makes me ask a serious question that has made me nervous ever since I found your blog. Are you in danger of getting the old pink slip for revealing the terrible truth about the lousy state of the health care business? I was a young deejay in Flint, Michigan when Pat Boone got hot.

He was a member of the same kind of church as my family, so he was highly approved at our house. We had a '58 Chevy too. I was 14 at the time, though. Loved Pat Boone.
