Nurses eat anybody young old and indifferent

I often read on allnurses about Nurses eating their young but the older I get, the more experienced I get, the more I know Nurses do not eat their young they eat anybody and anything that gets in their way.

They have no time or consideration for whether they are morally right or wrong, they do not care who gets hurt in the consequences they are on a mission.

These "nurses" are not just male or female they are the ultimate perfect product they make no mistake themselves they have no sex, no race, no color, no religion, no morals they are not doing it most of the time because they care about their patients they are doing it simply because in they are attempting to make themselves look Good, and everybody else look bad.

God help you if you have a bad day, your feeling unwell, your workload is so intense that you have difficulty priortising. This is when they feed on you almost like a vulture waiting and hovering to attack it;s prey, almost lulling you into a false sense of security.

We worry about the ones who are nasty to us, who we know are watching everystep making our fingers shake in case we do something wrong with a procedure we can do with our eyes closed.

In reality we shoudl be worrying about the ones who smile in our face, who understand our problems but are waiting in the background to stab us hard in the back to make the vultures job so much easier.

Bitter I hear you all thinking as you read this, no not bitter just somebody who has had her eyes opened, somebody who considered herself to be a a good nurse, somebody who has never been written up, somebody who has never written up another nurse yet somebody who is working in a hostile environment watching it happen to others around her on a daily bases and somebody who knows it is only a matter of time before it happens to her

Yes I have heard of this evil...:angryfire but I only hoped it was a myth started to motivate us students to be the best and stay on our toes... but you all have convinced me otherwise, :crying2: and it scares the living crap out of me. How can I protect myself other than to never ever ever ever ever make a mistake?:uhoh3:

It all seems so insane... are these nurses just miserable with themselves or is nursing now become the law of the jungle kill or be killed.

My co-worker had just phoned me on my day off to say new policy for our floor alone. doc's dont think we are assessing the pts correctly and that they want us to all be assessed doing head to toe assessments and then checked off as suitable.

I can think of some nice positive responses to this. All would amuse me greatly.

All the docs don't think not one nurse on the whole unit is doing appropriate head to toe assessments?! I call bullsh*t. I don't for a second think all the docs complained about every single nurse. What a bunch of crap.

I couldn't agree more, I am sick of one persons problems being blamed on all the staff. If it is me take me to one side and work with me if it is not then leave me alone to nurse because that is all I wanna do

I'm done with the floor and count myself as lucky.

I'm now in informatics. As an example of how floor nurses are mistreated, consider this. I was reading about a facility using an electronic MAR that entails scanning the patients, MAR, and med for a bar code. They are writing up nurses for scanning the wrong thing and almost making a mistake but catching it because of the very thing designed to catch it. Then I read about a different implementation plan and the nurse doing the installation advises that the first time a nurse doesn't adhere to the practice she must be disciplined.

What are we, a bunch of children getting demerits?

And people wonder why nurses are always pointing fingers. If I never had to return to the floor I will thank the beneficent Flying Spaghetti Monster.

AND people wonder why there is such a "shortage" of nurses. Who wants to put up with the constant "You did this or that wrong, you must be punished".
