I know all about that first hand. Sometimes the medical field feels like factory work. Task oriented. Tasks = money. Things have changed so much.

Things seem to be headed in the direction of helping the healers. The system has a long way to go. Debriefing after a bad shift is not enough. More is needed to help us.

People get mad but sorry nurses have a totally demanding brutal job. I have studied it for thirty years (and we are the nursing staff in the referal hospitals in vet med) - the MARS alone is horrendous, the responsibilties off the chart as anyting can go south esp with high risk patients....the nurses are caught between records up the wazzu to patient care which they have sneak in and get punished for either way...not wathcing enough or too much ..she /he has to be the first responder and has to live with anthing that goes wrong and is always at fault according to everhting and deal with mutlimple doctors and anan dand rarely do they ever have a moment to eat or use the rest room ....and if they say anthing they get into trouble ......i campaigned for years but get chedwed up as they are not used to support and certain we want somehting -(understandably but no) ....they need reps in their corner and place or people that know pma doesnt work in clincis murphy law rules....they need experienced clincial people not yuppie puppie psycho garbage that make it worse.........huge responsiblities largely unrecongized.........

i dont want anyting ...but the real backbone of the hosp....the peopel who break their backs....to protet and care for theri patients get recognized....

thats only

justice

nurses are the guardians.....because of them

no one else hears or understands...

All true. Eating and bathroom breaks.... what are those??? I worked a 14 hour snow storm shift, not even a cup of coffee was offered in the am when I couldn't see straight. I stood up for my patients and my license and said I can no longer give meds. I'm too drained I'm not making a med error. I worked my butt off while a coworker called and said she didn't have a shovel, couldn't come to work, another said my boyfriend won't let me drive in this 🙄

You had a stressful time as well. Horrendous hours.

i have a sign that is so nursing--

nap time was so 56 centuries ago

we want to support nursing but being a guy.....scares everyone so not a good idea....its horrendous what our nurses and others go througth because there are so few good listeners....the nurses have to heal themselves to boot

i used the vietnam nurses as inspiration and studied them. Most even in mental health have no idea who they are or what they went through and what they went through when they came home.....we went through the same thing.....came home from our vietnams and got hammered by the inept mhs....taken me 30 years to recover from the hosp idiot doctors and program......No one support nurses that has a clue to what they go througth- im totaly sympathtetid. if nurse break down and cry they get chastised for it....it s outragous......

nurses are exposed to so much - and exhaustion and horrendous hours and complex demanding duties and and and ...horrendous job
