It is funny to me how independant nurses are. Many times in the hospitals you find 'aged' nurses who are weary of new nurses and almost hang the new nurse out to dry. On this nursing board I find that there are a lot of attacks on different people. Anytime a person has a question about something another person said the response is usually a 'flame' at the person. And again with the ANA, I know there is not a lot we can do about it unless we band together, but it seems that they help make up regulations or sponsorships that most of us do not necessarily agree with
I am tired of all the bickering that goes on. Unity is the only way we are going to further our profession. Who cares if a person is a ER Nurse, Psych Nurse, Home Health Nurse, ICU Nurse, CRNA, APN, whatever. The people who are in these particular specialties more than likely love the area they are in and would not trade it for the world. You also see for example ER Nurses who you could not pay to go to Home Health because that is not the environment they like. That is an example but you often see people thinking they are better than other nurses all because they are in a certain specialty.
For the sake of each other and the profession lets join as one group and profession instead of multiple groups thinking they are superior. It is a great way to get things accomplished!
