    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Lizz, I believe that there is no profession more honorable or worth pursuing than nursing. What has been frustrating for me personally and so well documented on this board is the deteriorating...

    Well, I do like Elvis and the Beatles but the truth be known I like Elvis just a little bit more. It doesn't hurt that my son was born on Elvis's birthday either (just a few days away).

  5. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Good Point! When identifying problems we should offer up solutions (or at least solicit others to do the same). Reading from the article that was cited it seems that the first two obvious things...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your post and I totally support the idea of holding on to those things that give you inspiration and hope. On the other had I believe that "Blind Eye Syndrome" is a bad thing. In...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I have sit back and read all these responses with fascination. If you go back and look at the original post all I did was cite the published research and then post: "*I had not seen this posted...

    I would quickly edit your post and remove your e-mail address before you get SPAMMED badly. You might want to send your e-mail by PM (private message) to those you wish to carry on a conversation...

  12. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Advance Practice Nurses reported satisfaction levels on par with other professionals in their peer group. However staff nurses reported satisfaction levels much lower. Just remember that...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say I didn't trust it, I said I was chasing the study down to look at the population sample and methodology. Health and Human Services tends to be a little bit more credible in research...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    The post subject is from the study report (if you took the time to read it).

  15. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Outstanding! Now that kind of remark is one I can respect. I for one am chasing down the study to check on population sample and methodology. Hope to have some more results soon to report on just...

  17. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Perspective on the numbers? I believe the study cited as nursing as having the worst job satisfaction for the professions sampled as noted below: By contrast, 85 percent of workers in other...

  18. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why that is? Is nursing forever "doomed" to this cyclical abuse as noted by the post noted below? "They just want to recruit, recruit, recruit new nurses, burn them out and start over with a...

  20. Nurses and the Presidential Election 2004

    hbscott replied to -jt's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think my local "cow milkers" union would take offense at this disparaging remark! They would argue that they have been very effective in lobbying for dairy subsidies and are by no means as...

    hbscott replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    ShoDobe, Thanks for your support. To answer your question I opted not to go to CRNA School, the dream that started my "long strange trip" into the world of nursing. I was the ship's nurse on the USS...

  23. Nurses and the Presidential Election 2004

    hbscott replied to -jt's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't ever recall the ANA endorsing any republican candidate. Seems to me that nursing will only endorse democrats. The question is which democrat? Please don't give me another Clinton! I still...

  24. Changed my major to surgical tech..

    hbscott replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    That may be true in your setting but that was not my experience. Surgical Technicians "scrubbed" under the supervision of the primary surgeon and "circulated" under the supervision of the nurse. By...

  25. Changed my major to surgical tech..

    hbscott replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. I understand the issues you raised but as you noted from my post above that is how it was and is in my experience. I was a surgical technician and instructor in the military and the...
