The National Nurses Union held rallies outside of 61 legislative offices around the country on Thursday, in an effort to convince legislators to tax Wall Street and use the money to pay for schools, jobs and improving health care. Nurses say that they have seen the effects of the recession on health, and that a tax on Wall Street would help solve the problem.
