   that's really a sad and disturbing thought. hope that if they do monitor this in an "orwellian" way, that they take note of the reality that outcomes are based on knowledge, timing, teamwork and many other factors. the low priority is if the patien...

3. One Of The Saddest Things I've Seen... Can't Stop Laughing

   MarkonCRT replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

   I guess that people can always have a difference of comprehension of the written word. As I stated earlier, I don't believe that some of the people who responded read the complete post and realized that this was more of a commentary on the way nursi...

4. One Of The Saddest Things I've Seen... Can't Stop Laughing

   MarkonCRT replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

   Are you kidding me? The failure of the critics to realize that the OP is making a comment with regard to the state of patient care priorities shows a lack of ability to use a vital component of nursing. That being critical thinking. If you can't se...

5. Contract Issue

   MarkonCRT replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

   MarkonCRT replied to MarkonCRT's topic in General Nursing

   the center for nursing advocacy states that in 2004 there were 2.9 million rn's nationwide. i'm sure that the numbers are higher now. the organizations that you speak of seem to have no voice. if they did, there would be a call for outrage against th...

9. Who speaks up for the Nursing Profession ?

   MarkonCRT posted a topic in General Nursing

   It seems that there is a constant flow of information that is presented by the media that belittles and demeans the actual role and responsibilities of the nurse. I can't think of any profession that would allow themselves to be tethered to an elect...

10. The worst code you've seen?

    MarkonCRT replied to jesshopper12's topic in General Nursing

    The saddest code that I'll never forget was a full term pregnency involved in MVA. C-section in ER with both patients gone. I remember the silence in the room. I cried alot on this one later in the evening. It's one part of healthcare that I really h...
