I'm sorry were you trying to make a point?

You make an excellent point. People are wearing scrubs, everywhere!

I watched it. I actually think she was trying to say that nursing is not recognized. Something we already know. One of the reasons may be that we don't listen to the advice of other professionals and give it some consideration, at least.

I agree with you to a degree. I mean, we do want to be recognnized as a profession don't we? How many execs do you see running around in cartoon shirts and sneakers?

I agree with you to a degree. Nurses could do more to be recognized as a profession by behaving more professionally. How many execs where cartoon tops and sneakers to work? Dress for success, though the hat I'd leave at home!!

Were you making a point? You may feel differntly when you have earned nyour BSN.

Hello, Brooksville and Spring Hill Regional Hospitals (I currently work for Hernando Healthcare) would be interested in your application and in meeting you. "Foriegn" nurses are welcome!! Come and apply!

Hello Nicole, I work at Brooksville Regional. Have worked at all three of the local hospitals and have liked Brooksville the best. Spring Hill Regional and Brooksville Regional are sister hospitals owned by the same company. What area of nursing are you in? Tracey

I am in the same position. I have agreed to the position on an "interim" basis as I am hesistant to change the dynamics of the close relationships I have with my peers for several years. Good Luck to you!! Tracey

Wow. This website was quite a find! I too am trying to make the transition to management. The former manager was let go, even though she was quite popular with the staff about 3 months ago. I have sort of been standing in, and now, agter 3 months of pressure, I have agreed to take the position, on an "interim" basis. I am reluctant, for all of the reasons already listed here, so I have discivered my situation is not unique. I also am apprehensive about the time requirement as I so value my time with my family. Staff works 3/12's here in Florida. As manager I will be there 5 days a week, but will be home before 9p, so that is a plus. The DON is so persistent that I take this job I guess I have to have faith that this is the right step for me. I also have staff that are disgruntled due to the favoritism of a few by the prior regime and those with chronic sick calls. That is one of my tasks for tomorrow, and this person was a peer until recently. Very awkward. Most of all it is difficult to leave my confort zone on the floor and start something new. Tracey
