Rural nurses from 13 small hospitals share their work lives and concerns. Five years of cost-containment have left them undaunted, but they worry about the financial viability of their hospitals. Their unique brand of nurse shortage has added an additional load that appears surmountable only through financial means, which have also disappeared through cost-containment. This is the story of "frontier nurses" and their fight to maintain an American institution.
来自13家小型医院的乡村护士分享了她们的工作生活及担忧。五年的成本控制并未让她们气馁，但她们担心医院的财务可行性。她们独特的护士短缺问题又增加了额外负担，而这似乎只有通过财务手段才能克服，可成本控制也让这些手段不复存在。这就是“边疆护士”及其维护美国一项制度的斗争故事。
