Red tape is wasting taxpayer dollars and disrupting lives of families with medically fragile children in the south and southwest suburbs and elsewhere. There is a critical shortage of pediatric nurses willing to work for low wages paid by agencies that serve families with children who need ventilators, feeding tubes and other types of equipment and care to survive. 'We have clients who live in the Orland Park area who are having trouble getting nursing,' said Kathy Logan, co-owner of BrightStar Care Orland Park/Will County.
