Are all California Nurses angry with Governor Schwarzenneger?
No. The CNA would like all Californians to believe that but this is not accurate. Governor Schwarzenneger has allocated new funding for nursing programs to aid in boosting our numbers. He is aware of the acute shortage of nurses in our state and appreciative of the important work we do. The majority of nurses in our state do not want to have nursing represented to the public as an angry group yelling at the Governor. We want the public to see us as professionals who will work with the Governor in a collaborative manner to improve healtcare for all Californians. We want our patients to know we will be there for them when they need us……at the bedside, not out in the streets yelling and carrying signs.
