   Yes, exactly icuRNmaggie. I'm here on allnurses-dot-com because I'm hoping to expropriate all your comments and then strike it rich by signing a 3-year multimillion dollar contract with an unsuspecting hospital CFO. Brilliant. What was that you we...

4. Nurse Staffing Costs

   Interesting take. Assuming it's true -- I still don't see how asking a question, the answer to which the inquisitor already knows, would be "insulting." Annoying, perhaps -- but insulting?

   In summary, the reaction seems to be: (1) consultants are lower than pond scum; (2) consultants don't know anything about what nurses experience; (3) consultants don't care enough to ask about what nurses experience; and (4) even if consultants did c...

    I thought you had moved on, but you seem to be taking this personally -- why not start a new thread rather than hijack this one?

13. The culture of AN

    stewstew03 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    As an outsider (consultant) who recently joined AN, my perspective is that there are a few posters who spoil it for the rest. I've only been here two weeks and I've already been called a heartless "hack" who doesn't care about nurses. How's that fo...
