No one is really participating in nursing week at my job. They had a multidenomenal prayer service today, and hardly anyone showed up, I understand. I also suspect strongly, that it will be a weak showing for the luncheons and the rest of the scheduled events. We have not been appreciated, management has been crapping us out and everyone is just ****** off and doesn't feel like pretending.

I understand that the nurses at our clinic were all going to wear whites & the ones that had them were wearing their caps. Unfortunately, I had the day off so didn't participate. I thought it was a nice idea because most of the patients don't know it's nurse week & this could bring up the subject.

I had lunch at Panera this noon & saw a group of nurses having lunch together. Although I doubt any of then have ever taken care of me, I stopped & thanked them for what they do everyday. Of course I had to share that I'm also a nurse.

Oh, I'm in Iowa & we rank as the lowest paid nurses in the country. Our state government celebrated Nurse Day by voting to give us money. If the amount they voted is split equally, we'll all get a whole $500 more this year. However, their goal is that in 3 years we'll rank 25 instead of 50 so I guess $500 is a start. The money is going to the hospitals to allocate. Guess LTC & clinics nurses don't count. Oh, by the way congress voted to give themselves & other elected persons a raise, some as much as 20%. Happy Nurses Day or is that Govt Day?
