The nurses weren’t happy with the Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
The nurses tried to brief about the importance of the healthcare system and nurses. One of the nurses, Melita Dionosio-Temple said, “The one thing the public should know, is that one day you will be in that bed and realize that because of the number of patients one nurse has to take care of, you may be calling, and there’s nobody there.”
DeMoro even said, “I like to think of it as ‘Conan vs. the Nurses’.” However, the ad was also a bitter answer to the hospital industry. As they expressed their own “Thank You,” and supported Arnold’s decision. Arnold proposed to hold the lowering of the patient-staff ratio that had been approved by the former Governor, Grey Davis.
