It has been said that we learn much from the west coast of this country... and no doubt massachusetts nurses need to be educated, I know because i am one who found a leader in rep. christine canavan who not only is a nurse but legislator fighting for patient safety. and the ole useless argument that patient safety could not be accomplished 'cuz their ain't enough of us to achieve it' Well why did so many of us leave? And wouln't some of us come back if we had safe staffing implemented? You are a breath of fresh air space nurse to many nurses who live in fear.:chair: sincerely, When I left staff nursing,..it was then I had my babies..........:kiss

the organization , facility etc.. that will hire you, must support you 100% and in that you will be respected and = pleasure to go to work:)

Do you think Nurse-Patient ratio legislation would help?

I agree w/ matt's mom, depression would be the result of this debilitating disease... does anyone know what tests other than SED RATE, to evaluate symptomatology is done?

I have been away from bedside nursing for 7 years , I completed a refresher course and returned to clinical acute care , I hear you,,,,,,,some things never change, the same complaints, the same problems, somethings never change! unfortunately, We must pass safe staffing legislation i believe it would be the beginning of a positive change for nurses.:)

just a suggestion.......... have you thought of an RN Refresher course?:)

it probably is worth repeating and many have heard this and know it to be that 95% of the profession is female, and well, yes, females can be cruel and unusual, and especially in this profession in which we haven't quite figured out how to harness all the power that we in fact have. but we seem to take out alot of our frustration on each other because of the often 'system failures' that surround us in our work environment.
