Yes ... I know about the "weeding out" of the good nurses. I worked in the Peds ICU for 15 years and finally quit because of all the political BS that goes on. They weeded out the best manager I had ever had (one that could actually do my job and do patient care without freaking out!) they then hired a witch that has a Nurse Practitioner degree that has NEVER worked in a Peds ICU!!! I'm sure it was because she was "cheaper." She is wicked too!!!! I don't understand why she has a Nurse practitioner degree and works in thid position??? Nursing sure isn't what it use to be and I doubt if I will ever go back!!! Kim:nurse:
