Nurses all over America are ticked at Washington State Senator Maureen Walsh for saying that "probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day."

Washington State Senator Maureen Walsh (R-Walla Walla) made the comment while debating a bill on the Senate floor earlier this month and now a group of nurses are petitioning on Change.org. They were looking for signatures to have the politician go shadow a nurse for an entire shift and see what is like. They were looking at one million signatures at a goal and have already reached over 800,000 and Walsh has already agreed to go shadow the nurse community.
