   disillusionedrn replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

   Whether or not this letter surpasses the current tone of the #nursesunite movement to include the real issues at hand is not up to me, it's up to all nurses, especially those who participated in the stand against Joy Behar. My whole point of writing ...

   disillusionedrn replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

   Funny, the "rants" I listed have real implications in the nursing profession. Research backs it. Personal experiences back it. My "rant" has everything to do with my own experiences, you're right, I have experienced each "dirty secret" I listed. How ...

   Well, the only person coming off as snarky is you. I don't agree with this movement, I don't think anything said by a host on a tv show commands this level of response when there are real issues that need attention. I am yet to see the real issues co...

   In response to the strides that have been made in nursing and that we need to see how far we've come, I agree with that, but it isn't enough. Nurses wear the injustices of nursing like a badge of honor. I see it all the time in memes and ecards and e...

8. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

   disillusionedrn replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

   My point of writing this open letter is to say that nurses are standing up in unity against something that really does not matter to us in the end. It's going to trend for a while, and then it will pass and the negative aspects of nursing culture and...

   An open letter in response to #NursesUnite: It is amazing that you have finally found a cause to unite over (#nursesunite), however, I find it hard to jump on board this superficial bandwagon that actually serves the nursing profession no purpose wha...
