Nurses & healthcare reform

Luann Long, president of the Hawaii Nurses Association, says healthcare reforms must address the nationwide shortage of nurses which has been fueled, in part, by retirement and injuries while on-the-job. Long also noted that the average age of nurses is rising. She was a featured speaker at Congressman Neil Abercrombie's Healthcare Community Forums in Honolulu. Abercrombie was gathering input from the community, as Congress moves to adopt healthcare reforms.
