The American Nursing Association provides no online policy statement concerning paid sick leave for nurses and it appears that this issue is addressed only collectively through the nurses union with the AFL-CIO.
SUMMARY and CONCLUSION
It is clear that the nursing profession musty be the focus of the health care industry specifically in relation to the proper benefits necessary to sustain nurse practitioners in reducing job turnover in what is a time of a great shortage in nursing with no future projections of this shortage being allayed any time in the near future. Penalizing a sick nurse for not reporting to work is very much like the medical industry cutting off the nose to spite the face. The medical industry must necessarily administer to their own in order that they may administer to the population at large in need of quality health care.
