But irregardless of Numbnut's dire predictions, until someone in the United

probably safe.

There are many things that RNs do that do not require RN
qualifications. A person with much more summary training, at a much
lower salary, could do the same thing. In some cases regulatory
barriers exist, but such barriers can be removed.

The only way to give hands-on care is to be on hand. I don't
see that changing in my lifetime.

I know lots and lots of people who didn't see any change coming before
they lost their jobs.
