:imdbb: Now, anything goes because managers are afraid to discipline or even correct. Managers and Administrators fear c/o racism or genderism or religionism, so refuse to make problem employees shape up or ship out. I"m not saying there weren't problems or unfairness, but there are today, too, no matter how fair and reasonable we all try to be. Anyone who's upset today can utter the right word or 2 and bring Management to its knees, whether justified or not. I don't know. I've never been able to intimidate anyone, CNA or CNO, no matter how hard I have tried. The above paragraph copied from another posting. Below is my response. I have been a nurse for 16 years I have seen many changes including the respect the nurses do not receive from the cna's. I was an aide for 10 years prior to becoming a nurse. If I ever said no to a nurse you were fired on the spot. I fought a few of the aides for insubordination and disrespect. I ended up with disciplinary action on my lisence. Nursing has changed drastically and I am not so sure it is for the good. I still am a patient advocate and I expect apprpriate care for my patients.
