1. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   Talax, You have been one of only a few that have taken the time to read and respond to what I've actually been saying instead of just hurling personal insults while ignoring what I've written, which is what most have done. However, your overzealous ...

2. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   Fair enough, that might be true in regard to the way my post was received. There is some parsing of words here - the words "subset" and "many" in my post are referring to the same amount. By these two words, I do not mean a majority but a large eno...

3. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   There have been too many posts for me to address them all, so instead I'll address a few of the recurring themes. I'd also like to add some clarifications about my original post. First, I'd like to reiterate that I am not talking about all nurses in...

4. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   There is a major difference between pointing out problems and complaining. Secondly, I am having this discussion in a closed circle - there is nothing in my original post about nurses complaining to nurses. In fact, that is needed to unload stresse...

5. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   First, I don't think nurses need to be science gurus. Just proficient. What bothers me though, is that you are suggesting that if you are really good at science, then somehow by going into nursing you're not living up to your full potential? I kno...

6. Hugs to you floor nurses

   sarjasy replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

   May very well happen. I would say that I am not objecting to the fact that the OP was frustrated by a patient. I can even understand (a little bit) actually saying something. What I found shocking was getting on a message board and bragging about ...

7. Hugs to you floor nurses

   sarjasy replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

   i always love how this "experience" think is whipped out in a discussion. not downplaying per se, i just don't see how experience justifies telling someone off, especially a patient. i will ask you too: in what profession, nursing or otherwise, is ...

8. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   Yet another dodge of the point. Yet you've yet to show me how I am wrong. Well, if only experience can make one's opinion right or relevant, then your opinion is also irrelevant because there are those that have responded on this thread that have...

9. The Problem with Nursing

   sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   In my orginal paragraph I wrote, "The #1 complaint among nurses that I have seen is a lack of respect by other health care professionals." The mention below that in my OP about other forms of complaining was in reference to that main point. You sti...

10. The Problem with Nursing

    sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

    Your dodging the question. Your point was that because you are a nurse, and I am just a student, that I had no place to comment on such matters therefore my opinions were invalid, due to my lack of experience. I then pointed out that there are thos...

11. The Problem with Nursing

    sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

    That's another thread. Nothing in my original post in this thread was about whining about patients. It was about whining about not being respected by the rest of the medical community. Reread.

12. The Problem with Nursing

    sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

    So why is it that there are nurses with 15 years of experience on you (4 x your experience) that have responded on this thread that agree with me?

13. The Problem with Nursing

    sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. You got me. I'm busted.

14. The Problem with Nursing

    sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

    How long have you been in nursing? Perhaps you could help me understand where I am wrong. Care to share? Why is that, exactly?

15. The Problem with Nursing

    sarjasy replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

    That's a cop out. I've been working professionally for 13 years, some of which has been in health care. I've never seen anything like it. That is not true historically. Nursing has prided itself on caring in the emotional sense of the word, thu...
