I work as a DNS for the past three years and though i don't speak for your DNS, i do feel that we are less appreciated. I try to work smart and not put my health/body at risk. Being a DNS is a stressful job. I worked in an ICU, was a floor nurse, med nurse, LVN and i tell you, DNS is more stressful than any of this. We are always on call and any issues, we have to be informed even though we're home. I like what vivalasviejas said, be part of the solution and work with them. Now if this doesn't work, well then you know its time to move on. I do have an issue with my DSD and SSD as both are lazy and expect the nursing staff to do most of their work. I have to find a way to tell them or force them to either step up or walk away. Nursing is never easy but we have to deal with it. Thats why we are nurses and that is why not everyone can do what we do
