  1. Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    I think this is a bit of the problem…didn't Karl Marx say 'Religion is the opium of the masses." there is a lot to that statement and it can be seen in the world of health care. Hospitals are big business and God has nothing to do with it….But if the...
  2. Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    GrnTea That is because I don't need years of this to figure out what is up. I worked in an out patient setting for a year and it was a great experience with low stress. It was a conducive environment. I left because my goal was to become a critical c...
  3. Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    New grads disillusioned..? Of course but the reality was not what they were selling when they were applying. They were sold on those billboards the old smiling lady who appreciatively looks into her nurse's eyes. The nurse is beautiful, clean cut (li...
  4. Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    I beg to differ wooh, I think most all nurses new it was going to be hard…nursing school tends to whip you into to shape. The issue is in the theoretical world of nursing school we are given ideals of how patient care should be. In the Hospital we a...
  5. Time to open the can of worms...I am sure it has been opened several times...but maybe I am not seeing this topic addressed enough. Am I crazy or is the world of nursing crazy and I am just in the mix? Why did no one tell me in nursing school? Why di...
  6. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    For all those who responded to this thread. Your comments are appreciated and noted. It has furthered my resolve to leave Med Surg. I can't wait. I am getting calls for interviews. Yey! I am excited to be looking onto new horizons. I think med surg ...
  7. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    HouTx, thanks for the post. I would say I have that type of personality. I know going into ICU will be no cake walk. It will be hard but it will it better. That was a good post. Sorry for the negative vibes.
  8. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    Ruby Vee, SoldierNurse22, and GrnTea…thanks Profs for the corrections…now kindly buzz off. I rather you don't respond to my posts. I have no interest in arguing about spelling errors. As I said before my auto correct automatically switches 'med surg'...
  9. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    That is true…Lil'mama, you have good points but in ICU you are not being pulled in 5 different directions and having to know what's going on for 4-5 or in some cases 20 different patients, who not only need their meds, but their blood sugars, toileti...
  10. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    Ruby Vee….how is it I find all your responses so gratingly irritating? If you are looking to count spelling errors on an informal website…I rather you NOT respond to my posts. One thing I find irritating about some posters online…in general... are th...
  11. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    I don't mean to be a downer about med surge but it is truly drudgery. Even to the women and men who work it and can find themselves never working some place else. It's like a love hate relationship so they stay even though they are over worked and st...
  12. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    Thanks for the post. Very encouraging. I am putting in my ICU apps in pronto! Even if I have to go to critical access area or out of state. I feel I have semi wasted a year of my life suffering on med surg. It is not a waste in that i got experience ...
  13. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    Grntea, "something that indicates an outcome or event beforehand." That is just what I meant. I did not not mean prerequisite AT ALL. Don't get it twisted. Like the other posters who got it... i know one does not HAVE to go through med surge but as ...
  14. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    Med Surg has taught me a lot but there is so much to be undesired. I never enjoy coming to work. I am crossing my fingers and counting the days till I get on a new floor.
  15. Is Med Surg Pre-cursor for Critical Care Success?

    Wow Esme, 22:1, that is insane, that sounds more like a LTC or ECF.
