   newyorknursey replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   wow. someone did their homework. informed discussion is sooo juicy. 345 percent more per capita on health administration in the U.S.!!!

2. Why do nurses eat their young?

   newyorknursey replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   amen to all of the above. i will add that i recently heard the sociologist who did the infamous/famous Stanford Prison Experiment speak on the radio; he specifically chose people who scored well on a battery of psychological tests to play the part of...

3. Why do nurses eat their young?

   newyorknursey replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   the fawning-over-doctor-whilst-chewing-on-nurses nurse I mentioned is so experienced clinically she would be an excellent practitioner rather than an overburdened clinical nurse who (of course!!) can see everything that needs to be done - that maybe ...

4. Why do nurses eat their young?

   newyorknursey replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   On my floor one of the senior nurses who is often a nurse-eater will sound like a silly schoolgirl with a male doctor. like it or not, alot of nurses are so grown up (in a generation that did not value 'women's work' ) they do not value any new nurse...

5. Calling the OB for decels..

   newyorknursey replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

   remember your licence is on the line, and the baby's life- doctors who want to chew someone out are going to do it no matter what eventually. NEVER let that fear make your decision. That said, I would let my charge nurse know first when i see a late,...

6. Why do nurses eat their young?

   newyorknursey replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am starting to think that as a newbie i have to accept the mountain of constructive criticism, and discern it from the insulting non-constructive criticism ... attitude may be ubiquitous, but so are well-meaning nurses who are just stressed AND gen...

7. Why do nurses eat their young?

   newyorknursey replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   i am curious what difference it will be to nurse in the army- it is an intensely busy floor, it is new york city- with challenging pace in any case (and tons o' attitude) not the friendly neighbourhood hospital....the day shift is stressful and alot ...

8. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

   newyorknursey replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   it's more like comparing a mercedes to a stable of workhorses; only the people with the most resources are going to be able to drive a mercedes(or have a whipple). Preventative or primary care is the key to health, not so sexy, but gets the job done....

9. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

   newyorknursey replied to DucatiNP's topic in NP

   EXACTLY my fear about advancing in nursing period- would love to hear thoughts about this...CLINICAL NURSES CAN END UP FRUSTRATED BY STAYING AT ONE LEVEL REGARDLESS OF ADVANCED SKILLS but NP's face the kind of situation you highlighted above; DO np'S...

    newyorknursey replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

    OK. I AM CANADIAN, AND A NURSE IN NEW YORK. I GREW UP IN A HOSPITAL AS ALL FAMILY IS IN HEALTHCARE. READ THE STUDY - most canadians who have knowledge of both countries would prefer to get care from and work in Canada's system. Read the study!!!!!!!...

    newyorknursey replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

    No cap of 2800 was suggested; medicaid for all is the SOLUTION, not the problem. And MEDICAID patients are taxpayers. You need to invest in reading time. Much thanks!!!!!

    newyorknursey replied to DucatiNP's topic in NP

    check out the posting at www.nyc.gov- it's under department of health job openings- I would love to know too what the job description is, and even more interested to talk to NPs who have worked in an ME job. true, good educators are priceless-

    newyorknursey replied to DucatiNP's topic in NP

    I am looking at NP school, this discussion is great because my sense of the opportunites for satisfying NP work is that it is rare!!!! All the advanced degrees (NP) seem to end up in education, and not because it was the first choice!! But out of sim...

15. Why do nurses eat their young?

    newyorknursey replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No one wants to admit it but I will- when you are stressed out you want to vent, no? Sometimes it's 'the crap rolls downhill'. The experienced RN let's say, gets attitude from an arrogant doc(just a hypothetical, ) and who gets it? you guessed it, t...
