Follow a nursing theorist?! I'd be happy if they followed their own matrix for safe staffing!

There's absolutely no theory in place anywhere around me....except the theory that if they give you enough extra workload and force enough overtime, you'll eventually quit. Thereby replacing you with shiny new grads.

Now if they just had one with diarrhea shooting out the other end, that would be my reaction....

At my hospital, I have no idea which nursing theorist they follow from their ivory tower....

Probably Almighty Dollar, RN
