I removed an unfootnoted claim that Beth Israel Plymouth was "in the top 2% in nursing" July 2015, after the line had apparently sat in this article for five years. Even if the writer had found an article in, say, Newsweek, that a survey of satisfied patients, or of registered nurses evaluating their employers, or some other such, had arrived at such a conclusion, and had cited that article, it would prove almost nothing. I have worked around about 2000 nurses in my career, and all we can say with any accuracy is that there are a few substandard nurses, perhaps 1 in 20 as a speculative figure (many of whom will over the next few years find their way out of the field), a huge number of good-decent-average-acceptable skilled nurses, and then maybe about 15% genuinely superior nurses. It would be hard to separate out these last two groups. It would even be hard to prove, except in retrospect, perhaps by records of licenses lost, who was in the bottom group. A claim that X group of nurses are in the top 2% is meaningless outside of an ad agency's material promoting the institution. Has no place in an encyclopedia. That it is here probably hints that this page may not have been read by anyone who cared about content in several years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.116.25 (talk) 20:02, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
