Letter: No staff for kids’ hospital

Tuesday, June 19, 2001 | 8:43 a.m.

I must disagree with letter writer Lee Alvarez's opinion of needing a children's hospital.

The problem here is staffing. All the hospitals in Las Vegas need at least 100 nurses. Who will staff a new hospital? The pediatricians want it, but they don't do the work! Who would take care of the children?

Would you want your child in a hospital with no qualified personnel? I certainly wouldn't.
