If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

My hospital system just rolled out a bonus program, but even that they botched once again creating descension among the ranks.  Management decided to pick and choose who deserved the bonus and determined whether the staff had taken care of enough covid patients to qualify.  Seriously, of course they themselves got a bonus 5X as much and never wore scrubs or worked with even one covid patient!  The unlucky runner ups were rewarded with a crappy company T-shirt!  Unbelievable, talk about a slap in the face.  It's a good thing I don't still work there because I would be so tempted to burn the T-shirt with a camera crew in view! LOL

Oh to top it off the CNO bragged about treating herself to a new diamond ring and trip to Mexico.  Amazing to me in the middle of a pandemic when we are being asked to quarantine and limit social interactions, the CNO feels it is the right time to go to Mexico!  Reminded me of Deborah Birx, a top fed Corona expert who was forced to resign for simply having a Thanksgiving dinner with her family, not even traveling out of the country!

That CNO should be fired.

The HR director at Wrongway Regional Medical Center went to Las Vegas for a week last Spring, and when she returned, she fired me.

Wait a minute. That's not the same thing.

Never mind.

I'm a firm believer in KARMA - what goes around will come around eventually.

Just a matter of time to just wait  ... wait for it ... wait for it ...
