I have no idea why administrators don't bow down to you guys more often because head nurses, charge nurses, etc., you guys are the real front line workers and need and deserve more respect and more <i>money</i> than they are currently paying you.<br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight, and I hope that if/when you are finally able to write an exit letter, you are able to write one sort of like this one.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />TrishaTrisha Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-46366015491925879962012-08-03T13:12:21.517-07:002012-08-03T13:12:21.517-07:00I'm not a nurse but I take my hat off to all t...I'm not a nurse but I take my hat off to all those of you who are.

I learned that stuff in nursing school, in basic pathophys. If you've got RNs who don't understand it then there is a serious competency gap somewhere.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076856042658008396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-43252062439105523422012-07-13T11:17:25.091-07:002012-07-13T11:17:25.091-07:00Love This.

Ever heard the quote which I think is attributed to Mae West 'what the world needs is more love and less paperwork!'? Now with computers and the internet the ways to create, gather, rearrange, and analyze data are multiplying faster than dust bunnies under the bed - but that is NOT to be mistaken for actual work accomplished! You know that, you're the one who makes sure the plumbing (for the patients and in the patients) gets fixed! thanks for the good work you do, Jo.clairesmumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-25722365063836301592012-07-12T18:09:29.704-07:002012-07-12T18:09:29.704-07:00Too many fucken bosses!Too many fucken bosses!Comrade Physioprofhttp://freethoughtblogs.com/physioprofnoreply@blogger.com
