Our manager now routinely posts emails in which she reiterates what the "customers" (meaning the patients) are saying about the "service" we provide, and how we can improve it.
Funny, I thought what I was supposed to provide was HEALTHCARE/nursing care to the patient!
If I wanted to provide service, I could go be a waitress in a restaurant somewhere, or perhaps go be a bank teller, or a retail provider.
I'm not even sure that this "service" requires a nursing degree anymore. If I am only judged by how quickly I can answer a call bell, or how great I can "get along" with a patient/client -- then what did I get this BSN for??
It just gets more ridiculous every day.
