I just read this post: Political Hope for Bedside Nurses. Sounds like an interesting read. I'm really shocked by how many nurses are out there and how little organize to stand up. Probably too tired...
You are obviously management and/or those in power trying to scare nurses. I'll tell you why I've come to this conclusion: If a nurse with any experience at all at bedside in these times is able to...
It wouldn't be so hard on our bodies if we didn't have so much stress during those on days. My days off are like this: I have energy till about 1pm. After that im zoned out and planning on hopefully a...
I just learned this new polling tool. Maybe with help from you, a new poll can be created. Maybe surveymonkey.com link. My poll above doesn't give yes or no

I noticed that in some patients, when their family visits they become different patients - more stoic or more defensive or less personal. Very small percentage but interesting to notice when it...
I just wanted to add that in my experience there are about 10 to 20% of nurses and techs combined that are burned out, in the wrong line of work, disheartened and beatened down - whatever it is that...

Is there a way for this site to create a survey per state to find out the interest in unionizing or forming coalitions? I'm sure that there is a lot of interest but also a lot of fear and misinfo. I...
The problem is that it won't get better if we just accept it as the new normal. Social engineering as a result of corporate greed is causing these labor problems. How can there be budget problems when...
Let's not forget too that the nurse is so liable and responsible for so much. I'm responsible to follow up on my ACT's work, reviewing orders to make sure they won't harm the patient. and deal with...
Please watch this documentary because this is what our nation and world is watching when it comes to healthcare in the U.S. At first I was so inspired by doctors expressing the need to taking time to...
I suggest baby going to good daycare center if you have access to one. You as a mother will know if it feels like a good choice. 3-4 days a week with your husbands support should help you. If you are...
I don't feel it's an attitude thing with the scene I work within. I hardly get a chance to educate with all the changing orders relative to md's rounding times and all the intervention tests - when...
I totally agree! It's a total shame we're reduced to this treatment. That propaganda definitely bit me and the ceo's are building new buildings or increasing their salaries while increasing patient...
