nursing

Nursing is not what it used to be. It is now about the amount of bodies in the building filling the nursing hours. Don't get sick, don't get hurt, no one cares. The first thing you hear is how horrible you are for screwing up the hours, and how they now have to find someone to fill your shift. Also we are now live on computer, and you have exactly 2hrs to complete your med pass or you are in the red. So if your patient needs more than 4min of your time you and him are screwed. Assessments and nursing judgements will be cast aside all for a two hour time constraint. And what about if they fall or need to go to the hospital? What?! We step over them and say, "Sorry buddy, can you wait until I complete my med pass? I wish I could find something else to do that makes as much money but isn't so stressful. But I don't think it is possible.

Karen are you the only one who reads my stuff? I mean I don't want a bunch of riffraff at my blog and I certainly don't want people I work w/ to read it either.
