Rationale 1: The public's current perception is that the global economy is in distress if not crisis. Advocating for higher salaries is a need internal to the profession, but is unlikely to promote trust in the general public.
Rationale 2: In order to provide quality, the nurse must be able to work in a supportive environment with sufficient staff for the level of work expected.
Rationale 3: The best way for nurses to continue to be trusted by the general public is to do their jobs well, demonstrating a sound knowledge base and the abilities necessary for provision of quality services.
Rationale 4: Consumers like to be able to access nursing services in arenas other than the traditional hospital environment.
