I was wondering if any of you direct patient care nurses feel that the nurse administrators should put on some scrubs, say, a couple times a year or so, and really see whats going on on the units. I think once a nurse climbs the ladder to the tippy top, they lose sight of what is happening at the "front lines".
I was charge nurse on a busy 3-11 shift. We were, as usual, short on staff when we started getting slammed with admissions. When our nursing supervisor asked our director of nursing if we could call someone in for some extra help, her reply was "NO...IT IS WHAT IT IS"
