As I sit here and read many of the posts on this forum, I see a pattern that I, too have seen over my 10 years in this field. The trend of experienced nurses in management cannibalizing newer, younger nurses. It is saddening that in a day when we really need to support each other, stand up for each other and work together to help ensure that the profession is respected. The constant undercutting that occurs only makes it a more difficult profession to remain in, regardless of the financial gains. So as the Christmas season arrives, and the year comes to a close, I ask that we all consider our actions a little more closely and remember, that we are the future of our profession, every new nurse, every seasoned experienced nurse, and those in the middle, are the future. We can make it a bright one, or a dim one, the choice is ours. I mentor each of the less experienced nurses that works on my unit, give them guidance, encourage them to try different techniques, etc, with hopes that they will be a better nurse than I myself. Because someday, I will be the patient!!!
