Nurses in nursing homes? What a concept! Finally, someone is recognizing the importance of having qualified medical professionals in these facilities. This bill sounds like a step in the right direction.

I think this bill is good, it will help nursing homes have more nurses around. But will it really make a difference in the long run?
