The link on the Google page is headed with 'Reuter's Oddly Enough', but to me this is not Odd at all. It's something much in need in the place and time:

China Provides Embattled Nurses with Bill of Rights ... link should open in a new window.

And, In Fact, Here's Her Response

"The article is very interesting and as you said we are not immune here in the US. It is unfortunate that when we now teach non-violent crisis intervention we teach it so that nurses and student nurses can protect themselves from family as well as patients in altered mental states.

Don’t forget to add the point that the nurse educators are aging and within the next 10 years there will be a mass exodus due to retirement."

And without Nurse Educators, who's gonna teach the next generation of Nurses?

I know, I'm preaching to the choir.
