My cardinal rule of nursing? Nurses cannot expect to be better treated by the System than we see them treating the patients.

And the corporations are abusing the sick and elderly and all of us, for that matter. The System itself has become a breeder of new disease.

I see by your "story" you are one of the many that don't understand what being a Nurse really means. Like yourself, many have entered the Nursing Profession lately for all the wrong reasons. I truly believe it is a calling, not just a job someone may think they will try or because it's in demand & they think it's a quick easy buck. I have been a Nurse for 32 years & my husband one for 15. I always knew I wanted to take care of people, it was a second nature to me. I've been around long enough to do all the crap jobs, but caring for people, no matter where they are...ICU, Long Term Care, Newborn Nursery.... is innate & you either have it or you don't.
I suggest if someone is considering entering the Nursing Profession, they need to look within themself & ask if they can accept the responsibility of this wonderful Profession.

I see that you put the same IDENTICAL dumb comment on at least 3 totally different threads. YOU show that you are not much of a credit to the profession by doing such a thing.

Rote comments disparaging other nurses we need less of. Your rote forces others to respond to your nonsense repeated 3 times over by responding rote 3 times ourselves.
Jesus.... put some thought into what is being said, instead of just stamping the same words out over and over, 'dear unregistered'.
