Employer Respect

[MySunshineHasCome]

I must give all great nurses a standing ovation for braving it out in your profession. Working as a CNA has detered me away from the profession but left me with the utmost respect for GOOD nurses of ALL educational backgrounds. I find that nurses get the least amount if respect from their patients and family and the least support from their employers. I notice that employers would take the word of a patient over a nurse even if the patient is elderly and has zero credibility, OR the word of the patient's family (who isn't there all the time), sometimes resulting in the nurse losing his/her job. (I could go on about these unfair practices, but I'm on my cell, which also means you should ignore my typos and horrid sentence structure.)

How do you deal with working in a system/employer that is against you (if this is your work situation, I'm aware ther are ecxceptions.)?
