Letter: Weary times for nurses
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.READING the interview with Maria ('My exhaustion is killing my patients', 24 April), I realise the lot of junior hospital staff has not changed in the 30 years since I did my first house job. The 120-hour week was common and it could go up to 130. I dare say the people in power don't often find their lives in the hands of exhausted doctors. Perhaps if they did things would quickly change.
