All nurses in the United States have been socially engineered by the system to accept this type of treatment.
Most nurse policy is written nurses who have a disconeect from the average working nurse and don't usually practice real day to day nursing for which they are writing policy for.
Policy writing nurses are not the ones getting the forced overtime, working holidays and dealing with increased patient loads.
I think nurses as a whole we should advocate for nurses who actually work the job to be writing policy for it, not a nurse that had thier last patient care experience 20+ years ago.
How many of your upper management nurses are getting forced overtime and working weekends and holidays???????
