I am passionate about nursing are you?

I absolutely agree. When there's no passion-there's no purpose! Shame on the ones who's only in the profession for the paycheck. They are their because its what their parents wanted or it looks good, but really their miserable and wished they had followed their own dream. I personally think when your passionate in the work place nothing goes wrong intentionally or gets ignored(bad or good). A positive attitude and gossip free work place would be the ideal job for me. Just being able to enjoy each others company, helping out, and getting the job done(accurately) is enough for me. This post was very real in detail and gives you allot to think about.

Nursing prepares you for so much, if being at the bedside no longer brings joy or fulfillment move to another capacity. I love this post it reminds us all of why we started on this journey.

:whoot: :whoot:Game changer in the house!!! Carry that torch!!! Lol! Great post! Nursing is and CAN be an empowering profession; it has been for me, and for you as well, OP!

You ladies have good luck eliminating gossip or snitching in a workplace full of women. Gossip is your life and your passion. That's what you spend most of the day doing-chatting, texting, posting on Facebook, Twitting.In 18 months at my current job I've never been in my manager's office to snitch on coworkers and I don't get involved in gossip, but I'm a guy, so I guess I live in a different world.Cute post but it's full of naivete and idealism that's out of touch with the reality in the workplace.

I have always loved healthcare, and that includes being an EMT for 18 years, CPR and First Aid instructor, and a nurse.

I am passionate about nursing however, after 30 years as a clinical critical nurse I became very knowledgeable about nurses who cross from clinical to nursing administration. I found they are no longer loyal to nursing but loyal to the corporate structure, will do some of the most unethical things to prove their loyalty to corporate management, and are genuinely happy to be off the clinical grid. I am soloyal to clinical nursing almost to a fault. I can no longer function as a clinical nurse due to the severe hypocritical nature of nursingadministration and the corporate structure. Once you get to know to much about it, it breaks your heart to know clinical nurses are at the mercy of the now called 'corporate w----s'. Ill be glad to discuss it with anyone. Nurses are seen as a liability to the hospital scene and for that reason are disrespected by much of the hospital administration including nursing administration. Clinical nurses cost thehospitals a lot of money. Lets talk.

Yes Elite Nurse, let's talk. I've always wondered why management doesn't seem to care about their own. Why is that?
