I'm so sick of feeling that the managements of hospitals, Nursing homes and other agencies never notice the good things that Nurses do for people, they only notice if there is a mistake.   Unfortunately we are only human and in the midst of kaos when a nurse is overwhelmd with multiple tasks this is a reality.  We cannot function as a Secretary answering phones, Nurse passing meds, managing a 75bed unit and responsible for getting maintenance, housekeeping and cnas to do their jobs.   How do we stop this Nurse abuse in the age of cut backs and balancing the buget on our backs? 

All you can do is your absolute best, noticed by others or not, make sure to pat yourself on the back at the end of each shift becuz YOU know you did all you could do.  Give yourself the credit you deserve!

I have been a nurse for many years.  I really can't say many good things about the politics.   Nurse have to prove themselves innocent. Work long hours with out a break. When one makes a mistake one is told, sorry having three admits on your unit is no excuse to make a mistake, And they fry you for it. I wish I never would have gone into nursing. I should have went to college to be something else.   Nurses even set each other up. When are nurses going to stick together and fight for a better working enviroment?????
