Think Twice Before Becoming a "NURSE"

Published

No offense to the old-timers

Face reality- Nurses are change resistors, not game changers. Working in the worst conditions surrounded by medical money. Making ends meet and supporting their significant others. Thinking they help others. Sorry Johnson & Johnson, we don't make the difference you think we do.

New Graduates struggling to gain experience and settle a career- they might as well give up before they even start. Because every nurse who has been around awhile knows that only they know it all. And these new rookies, they can eat it.

I am far from alone on this one. I'm not an LPN making 15 bucks an hour either. I just see through this nursing crap.

After interacting with enough nurses, its become pretty clear. RUN away before you think you may want to enter the nursing world. It only gets worse.

Specializes in Peds/outpatient FP,derm,allergy/private duty.

I can't resist either. If only the nurse lobbyists in Washington DC were there for the good of the profession as a whole. They are not.

The change they want to see happening is gathering power to one type of Registered Nurse, to choke out diploma schools and to make sure nursing schools continue to churn out exponentially larger numbers of new nurses to flood a saturated market.

Keeping in mind that employers LOVE new BSN grads because they largely have a ton of debt and are DESPERATE for work, making them fair game for greedy health systems.

How is closing down diploma programs going to increase the number of nurses? Are you including ADN programs being closed? If nurses were more scarce their working conditions would improve.

I just don't understand why people who talk so bad about being a nurse stays in it? If you are so miserable as a nurse and feel like it is not worth it for you, then why stay in it? Just because it didn't work out for you doesn't mean it won't work out for others, in no way should you discourage people out of it, everyone has a different calling. Also, people talk like all the other jobs out there are perfect, just a reality check: nursing is not the worst job, many people of many different professions also hate their job, so please don't make it seem like only nursing has it's down sides, and that by choosing another profession one couldn't possibly be miserable... No offense to anyone, just expressing my opinion.
