I relocated here from California lived here a little over a year now, my friends warned me of how nursing in other states are different. I gave it no regard, now I realize what they mean. I came from a state that has a loud voice and strong representation for nurses, better benefits/pensions, and don't put up with management abuse. I came to realize that management have so so much power here, they make nurses feel "easily replaceable" and just a "hired help". One minute you have a job next day you don't, no matter the number of years of loyalty you have provided in the system. Not to sound paranoid but I feel that management is eager to take your license away, I don't feel protected here even if you are doing your job right. Nurse-patio ratios what's that! it's scary. I work in the ER Dept you can have up to 7 pts and who knows what u guys get on the floors. It's scary to practice nursing here. I give you fellow Colorado Nurse much props for putting up with crap and unsafe working conditions each and everyday. We all know we work too hard to get our license. For those of you thinking I'm just a spoiled Cali Nurse many native colorado nurses agrees with me. Nursing in this state needs a louder voice a better back up from legislatures and the state. Management here have too much power.
