August 17, 2001: Florida, St. Petersburg: Better pay, respect will attract nurses:"Editor: As a vested staff nurse at Regional Medical Center at Bayonet Point, an HCA/Columbia hospital, I was interested in a recent news article about Pasco-Hernando Community College teaming with a hospital to attract more nursing students.

The 34-year-old heads a team of 50 nurses in St George Hospital's pediatric unit and only one other nurse is a male.
