Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

I think nursing is abusive profession and would not recommend it to anyone. I think that making it be about the person is an injustice. NO ONE should have to deal with the abuses that are inherent in being a nurse.

Do you think perhaps a nurse may not like his or her job is because the environment that is set up by those in leadership....... create an environment that is begging you to make a mistake and put your livelyhood and the very patient's life at risk? How, when those in charge are in it for profit only...... and every decision they make is based on the bottom line, ........ do you expect the nurses and the patients to have all the tools they need to do their jobs in a safe and professional manner.The lack of care I have witnessed in my carrer due to the greed of those in charge is disgusting. Then there is the fraud that runs rampent in the system. For example; Medicare WILL NOT PAY the institution if the a patient, for example, needs a respiratory treatment, unless the patient is monitored for the ENTIRE duration of the treatment.I worked in an institution that had one Respiratory Therapist working 4 floors.Each floor had 5 to 6 patients who need repiratory treatments.How in the world is one person going to monitor each and every patient ( in this case 24 people) for the entire duration of the treatment? Well, they cannot because it is impossible.However, the paperwork states that each and every patitent was monitored during the ENTIRE duration of the treatment. OBVIOUS FRAUD. So the greed mongers would be paid my Medicare. An addition However, If the patient happened to get up and break a hip during the treatment....... and the respiratory therapist was giving another patient a treatment at the time of the fall of the last patient............... who do think will get into trouble?You got it!! The entire weight of the institution will come down on the therapist's head for not monitoring the patient for the entire treatment.Meanwhile they are told, by leadership, not to monitor them and just write that they are monitored so they can get paid.The whole thing is a sham and a fraud. And the Patient's, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists are the one's who pay the price for their greed.Another issue is the patient to nurse/LPN ratio. The way the nursing homes and hospitals staff the units should be considered cirminial. There is NO WAY one person should be responsible for 40 or 50 very sick people.There needs to be a law passed on RN/LPN ratios. These institutions make 6 to 7 million dollars a year. What are they trying to do? Make another million by cutting staff and putting everyone they care for....... and everyone that works for them at risk....... while they, the owners and cushy high paying nurses, get away with murder. Isn't 6 to 7 million a year enough??? You need another million?It's disgusting.Nursin - IS A JOKE

In our country I would go for a NO.. not recommend it at all
