Sure it's expensive, but we spent billions in iraq and afghanistan, taking care of other people, why can't we spend what we need to take care of our own. How can we do nothing, the current sysytem was unsustainable. This is a start, it's not perfect but it's way better than what we had. At least if you get cancer, no one will deny you coverage because you had pimples in 8th grade.

Anywhere you go, you are going to have to deal with a lot of different personalities. Not just nursing. Now I have been a nurse for 5 short years but I have learnt a few things. Some nurses are not very nice to their opposites on the unit, they feel the need to nit pick about everything, and some other nurses are very nice. It's the same everywhere. The original poster was correct, you cannot control anything others do, but you can control your response and your behaviour. I agree that the UM influences the atmosphere on the unit, that is very true. Finally most of us work long hours in a stressful environment, if we all checked our attitudes at the door and stayed professional and courteous to each other, the job will go a lot smoother. Let's cut each other a little slack. We are nurses, we rule the world

Hi all I am a Nigerian from Cross River State, hoping to get into a CRNA program at Case Western eventually, just setting up the groundwork, nice to read your posts. Wish you guys all the best. Congratulations to all you guys that are already doing it. Bassey

Hi I would not fret about it, she probably had verbal and written warnings up the the point when you turned her in and that was the last straw.
