If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

Published

My girlfriend seems to be afraid to speak her mind because of the fact that the management system can always send her to the lesser or busier hospitals as a float pool thing shes in.

The codependent nature of the RN persona seems to lend itself to blind adherence, and a certain degree of submission and overt tolerance that is VERY evident in questioning authority or contrived labor systems that in my opinion are exceptionally ambiguous and primitive. Nurses ( In a SANE world ) would have 70% less patients which would enable them to retain their core purpose in the field which is to nurture and help. I am smelling lemmings left and right it seems?

Well we can see why you didn't go to nursing school :yeah:

Interesting take on a field you have no actual experience in. Your girlfriend must feel so very supported.:rolleyes:

Let me get this clear...are you trying to say that nurses should reject patient assignment because its "difficult"?

Would it still be ok if you were this patient you referred to as a "hard assignment" and a nurse spoke up and refused to care for you?

In the nursing field, a good nurse does not whine about patient care however we will question if that patient is appropriate for the unit they were sent to. I would question why a patient with a Hemoglobin of 5.8 was sent to me at the Cardiac unit. Every nurse has had a bad day when they had a few difficult cases. It maybe me today but tomorrow it will be somebody else etc!!!

im saying that the levels of blind adherence to the workload of nurses is not only inhumane, but it puts them at a "differential disadvantage" within : #1 - the core reason they became a nurse. #2- negates the integrity of the title in general. nursing should be an institution of valor, but has been reduced to "waitresses with cottonballs". the nurse to patient ratio does not enable the proper care, and sets up instant stratification for not only contempt within their own chain of command, but indeed causes everything from divorce, to self-medicating behaviors.

in indiana, the system is nothing short of a contrivance...fortified and fed by a convoy of conservative lemmings, me-monkeys and clicks. even the transient rns from other states agree that the system, as a whole is broken. you all may think you have control over the balance of your workday, but to my experience, you have adjusted to unrealistic expectations,administrative and beaurocratic propaganda, and an indoctrination of philosophys that are not healthy for your personal energy level and well being. eh? ask yourself this... are you excited about going into your next shift? or is it better than working in a factory? eh? nurses are locked in a box...and they look up, and they can see the holes in the box, and try to patch the holes....but dont even consider that maybe somethings is wrong with the box itself. maybe the box is invalid to interpersonal humanitary needs via the patient or the worker. this paradigm will not be considered ( unfortunately ) until our monetary system puts the medical industry at an innate and existential disadvantage, thus the system will collapse on itself like a house of cards and real change will happen.

Yep, that about sums up work.

If they didn't pay us we wouldn't do it, now would we?

Airbrushguy, I see what you're saying, and you are correct the system is broken. You bring up some great points. I feel that you are a bit harsh in the way you get your point across, not sure if it is just your writing style, I feel that perhaps some readers may get riled up in reading your posts and don't see what you are saying. The system is broken and pointing it out to the worker ants at the bottom of the food chain isn't going to fix it.

hi lori.... indeed she does not only listen to it.. but agrees with all of it. but i dont sweat any opposition regarding people who cannot see the limitations of their own self-indoctrination. there will always be lemmings in any system via restaurants, hospitals, politics etc. but awareness is the key. good fiscal facts with the presupposition of the symbiotic needs of the human condition. of course the " linnear" minds and the "priesthoods of the know" have no sentience of such concepts because of their premature cognitive commitments to a dated, imploding system they are in. we can convince ourselves of many many things based upon our innate needs to survive. theres a barnes and nobles open lori if you want to educate yourself? thanks. :yeah:

certainly you can understand the resistance. you show up here, don't know any of us from hole in the wall, and explain that you know that we're lemmings and that we're not sentient (limited as our linear minds are i suppose) of the fact because of our premature cognitive commitments to this dated, imploding system.

seems to be the epitome of presumption to me.

gosh, can't imagine why there wasn't a warmer welcome......:rolleyes:
