Nursing is no longer a vocation, it's barely a profession, the whole institution is a shambles and a farce and anyone trained within the last ten years is an incompetent fool who cares for no one but themselves and the image they create. I have met very few genuine nurses, who actually give a shit about the patient, most of the people on my year's intake were more wrapped up in their biomed and pharmacology, giving little or no thought to the nursing aspect of the job; while i understand that a knowledge of anatomy and physiology and pharmacology is essential, we are not trainging to be anatomists, or physiologist's, we're training to be NURSES. I feel that the entire profession has fucked itself over and it scares me to think that in ten years time, there will be no genuine nurses left, very few who care, very few who actually come into the job because they wanted to be a nurse. I know this sounds like rambling, but i'm so filled with rage at the end of my career before i've even started, that i've yet to find a way to put it all into coherent sentences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25238467793409480.post-27924757092328995422007-02-20T12:13:00.000-08:002007-02-20T12:13:00.000-08:00What you describe here is the normal way people be...What you describe here is the normal way people behave in bureaucracies, with those higher in the hierachies shitting on anyone below them.

Having said that sadly this is one of the many unpleasant realities you will have to adjust to as a nurse.<br /><br />While what I'm about to say won't make you feel better and certainly won't justify anything, it seems (sadly) very little has changed in nursing education. Keep in mind of course I graduated 19 years ago!Angry Nursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109230113569411486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25238467793409480.post-13396748801636080052007-01-29T19:26:00.000-08:002007-01-29T19:26:00.000-08:00I'll probably start out in E.R.

Maybe move to an ICU or some specialty cardiac unit.<br /><br />My goal is to move out of LA and seek employment at a Magnet hospital.<br />I don't know if they are any better than any other hospital but it's worth a shot.LicensedToILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074573944211265049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25238467793409480.post-36501635995666266792007-01-29T17:19:00.000-08:002007-01-29T17:19:00.000-08:00You do your best.

True fucking disaster that almost destroyed my life. The instructor was cut from the same cloth as the nurses on that awful unit/hospital.<br /><br />Later, I was administratively changed to a different hospital, one that I thought I'd never visit. It was great! I did the "extern" thing there, and now work there as an RN. Totally opposite from that first hospital. <br /><br />So I'd get the hell out of that place the next semester, unless you are doing a speciality rotation. Then, wotta ya going to do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
