I was reading the nursing theory book and works of Peplau on nursing theory. Then I read Has Anybody Seen My Old Friend Peplau? The Absence of Interpersonal Curricula in Programs of Nursing (Jones, 2012). It made me burst into laughter and upset at the same time. Surely all these are great ideas on how nurses are supposed to "fix and rehab patients in a 2 day visit"
Who are all these people sitting in their high thrones and telling what needs to be done. It seems as if all of them are on drugs and have a complete disconnect with reality.
Let's face it patients are lazy. They do not care. They are on disability, benefits-whatever. Who are these delirious nursing theorists and educators that want us to completely shake a person's world and change them? I mean common now the society does not care about what will happen to patients, while the hospital is just greedy waiting for a fat medicare reimbursement. The patients have no incentive to get out and do the right things. Cuz work is dog, organic whole foods is for trump and the society has no genuine interest in anyone's well being and future.
yes, if a patient wants my advice on how to control blood sugar I will give it to him. But i highly doubt that he/she is interested
