Something Smells (And It's Not the Roses)

yes, yes, yes. well said.

me (jumping up and down and pumping fist in the air): yesssssssssss!!!!!

Loving it! So true!

Like i said there's a place in hell just for rotten mgt. Make it xtra hot-pls!

Very well put.

This says it all.

And our place just decided nurse would start wearing white......I guess our scores are lower than they are telling us. Of course, the bargaining unit, and I participate on the bargaining committee, said "no way, no how." The nurses did a little vote and Navy was the chosen color. Okay, but even after we pointed out to them that patients still don't know who the nurses are, it's a done deal, I think.And we are hearing rumors that our hospital is for sale. Well, that wouldn't be the end of the world. I can think of a couple of groups around that have happy employees. Also hearing the rumor that our OB unit is not long for this world. My retirement plans are perfectly timed, I think. But I worry and fret over my co-workers who still need and want to work....some are young and have decades ahead of them.Our nurse manager of less than 18 months just resigned her position effective 12-31 and will take a med-surg staff position.....we are wondering if that is another indication that big changes are afoot.

Leave it to corporate healthcare to create the PR solution, the perfect stepford nurse, ready to clone as needed whenever, wherever!

I love a meaningful article that is also WELL WRITTEN!!

And all this policy written by those who do not wear uniforms.

----and wouldn't know what to do in a code if someone's life depended on it...oh, wait, it does. Oh, you're the ACLS certified code team leader but you're not in white? Well, let's get the person who wore white but is so new they can't spell ACLS to run the code....
