Re: Why our hospitals are close to total failure/modern day patients/ obamacare
All I am saying that if highly educated health care professionals were allowed to charge like plumbers and babysitters do and were not forced to work extra without any pay so often YOU HEALTH CARE COSTS WOULD BE A HELL OF A LOT HIGHER. Hows about a little gratitude.

You know how much the hospitals save by forcing RNs into unpaid, mandatory overtime? Those savings keep your medical bills lower.
 Quoting: OP 7191620


If you're on salary, them's the breaks. It's no different in any other industry.

You want to talk about hard work? Try a draw against commission pay scale in blue collar fields.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56842571


Oh please. Blue collar guys don't have life and death responsibility and don't work 15 hours straight without a sip of water or any kind of break.

Re: Why our hospitals are close to total failure/modern day patients/ obamacare
Oh PLEASE. "Woe is me, I still make six figures per year working for the pharmacy industrial complex!" Shut your trap.

As someone with a chronic staph infection in his sinuses, getting you jerks to simply do what I ask is like pulling teeth with a pair of tweezers: IMPOSSIBLE. Six years in, and I still can't get the medication I've researched myself and know I need. You just refuse to give me the right stuff, you'd rather prescribe me fluoroquin-based "antibiotics" which are known to destroy bodies and were pulled from the market three times because they are essentially deadly poison. You'd rather insist I get a CT scan just so you can "make sure" I have an infection even though I've had four different cultures conducted and they all came up positive for staph aureus. I'm able to control my reflexes and manually suck globs of staph out of my sinuses and spit them onto a petri dish for you and you still insist on bombarding me with cancer and poison, just to drain me of more money and time. Never, EVER do you treat the CAUSE, you just look at the symptom... and you try to create more symptoms.

You look down your nose at us for daring to try to have any say in what we put in our bodies. I'm certain you personally have ruined lives with your careless misdiagnoses. I'm certain you personally have killed people as a result of your selfishness and intellectual laziness. You're all the same.

And now, you try to get US to feel sorry for YOU... LOL.

If your life as a hospital employee truly is horrible now because of Obamacare, which I find hard to believe, then consider it karma. You deserve to suffer for using your position of authority and perceived wisdom to blindly push whatever dangerous untested drugs onto us Big Daddy Pharma tells you to, trying to treat the symptoms instead of the cause, giving us unnecessary cancer-causing CT scans just to work towards paying off the price you paid for the CT scanner, etc.

You are devils in angel's clothing.

 Quoting: Sunset Voulebard


Nurses have no authority or control over anything, asshat.

We simply are responsible for too many patients at once and shackled with too many rules and regulations. Therefore no matter how hard we try, we fail because we are set up to do so. And I do not make a 6 figure salary. I make the same hourly as a restaurant manager whether I have 10 patients or 20, whether or not they are critically ill or easy, whether or not is the weekend or holidays. And I pay out the ass for malpractice insurance. And we now work every weekend and holiday with no extra pay because of the cutting of staffing levels.

The financial managers of the hospitals are the ones who make money off of you, not the practioners. I don't get to charge extra when I have more patients or they are extra difficult medically.
 Quoting: OP 7191620


Yep
pretty stupid person there

As a former ICU nurse; you are correct

one reason I got out of nursing

Nurses are treated like garbage in most places and told to follow the rules; period

You show them you can educate people to do better

and they react

by writing you up and giving you warnings your job is in jepardy if you continue to try and

educate the public

The administration tells you it is the '''doctors''' job to educate

Funny thing ; that

They don't educate because they want REPEAT patients and higher and higher incomes


Yep

The system ; like ALL other amerikan systems is a scam!!

and based on

master /slave mentality

like all other systems in this shit hole
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19051875


OR

if you show as an ICU nurse you know more than that doctor prescribing the meds

and tell them you will NOT give it ; there is something better

that doctor ; guaranteed will make you life hell until you quit

or even worse ; the

nazi boards in your state go after your license

Yep

in this day and age;

they look at just about anything as

'''trying to practice medicine''''

if you challenge the

If I make a mistake in applying chemicals, people may very well die. If an electrician fucks up, people can die. If a framer fucks up, people can die. If a plumber fucks up on certain aspects, people can die slowly. The life and death responsibility is not as direct as yours, to be sure, but it is still there, and the importance to society no less.

Btw, just so you don't have to climb down from your high horse to hear it, I'll remind you that you work inside, in a climate controlled facility.

nursing is a tough job, but yes, the people who build our buildings and roads and bridges and harvest our food have tough jobs as well.


As a nurse, though, you see people when they are very vulnerable. It is on your mind frequently that a mistake can cause suffering or death not decades in the future, but in the next few hours.

Those who do direct nursing care have to want to do it

There is no middle ground.

Nuring is one of the toughest jobs out there...toughest

Those who never did bedside nursing can know it is '''tough''''

but have NO idea of the magnitude of

just HOW tough it is....


A nurse is treated like garbage by the doctors, the administration, the families and in many cases the patients

the nurse must know MORE than the doctor in most cases

but is NEVER given the license or recognition of this

The nurse must know more than a doctor

for example

at 3 in the morning when the doctor is going to cuss her or him out on the phone for calling at 3 am

the nurse better have all her ducks in a row and know the patient needs

something more that is NOT in the current list of meds and the patients condition is changing for the worse....

It sounds like a lot of nurses live in a self-centered bubble maybe because they work long hours but there's alot of tough jobs with long hours that pose risks to others and all in all those people don't seem as uppity as some nurses. You guys need to get a grip.

I thought it was just politicians but we now know there are 2 groups that have no grasp of reality and are totally disconnected with the outside world.

Congratulations on proving how apathetic you are about anyone else but yourselves by showing your complete ignorance of the value that other people besides yourselves offer to this world.

Re: Why our hospitals are close to total failure/modern day patients/ obamacare
In the 1860's angels weren't known for their uppity attitude and loathing of the people they must help and weren't known as complainers.

2014, angels loath the people they were assigned to help, do their work be-grudgingly and complain all the while telling the wind that it has no place in Gods hand or the earth that it isn't as valuable to those humans.

My, how the angels have changed.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54980830


Nurses are people too

just like you

You even sit down and talk to the complainer?? ask them what is wrong??
Why do they complain so much?

They might like it that someone is actually paying attention to them and taking the time to

just sit and listen...

You might find

they are grossly over worked and under paid...

What I find is this society is becoming more and more nasty

as the years go by


How do you know in 1860 those civil war nurses didn't complain??

were you there??


People are people and I would bet in 1860 there were complainers

especially the rich women who had to help out

All I am saying that if highly educated health care professionals were allowed to charge like plumbers and babysitters do and were not forced to work extra without any pay so often YOU HEALTH CARE COSTS WOULD BE A HELL OF A LOT HIGHER. Hows about a little gratitude.

You know how much the hospitals save by forcing RNs into unpaid, mandatory overtime? Those savings keep your medical bills lower.
 Quoting: OP 7191620


If you're on salary, them's the breaks. It's no different in any other industry.

You want to talk about hard work? Try a draw against commission pay scale in blue collar fields.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56842571


Oh please. Blue collar guys don't have life and death responsibility and don't work 15 hours straight without a sip of water or any kind of break.
 Quoting: OP 7191620


If I make a mistake in applying chemicals, people may very well die. If an electrician fucks up, people can die. If a framer fucks up, people can die. If a plumber fucks up on certain aspects, people can die slowly. The life and death responsibility is not as direct as yours, to be sure, but it is still there, and the importance to society no less.

Btw, just so you don't have to climb down from your high horse to hear it, I'll remind you that you work inside, in a climate controlled facility.

This nurse was more angel of death:

[link to www.abc22now.com]

DAYTON — Two minutes after a nurse said she left for the evening, noting her 14-year-old patient was in good health with stable vital signs, fed and resting comfortably, the teen’s mother was on the phone to 911 saying her daughter was in distress.

Thirty minutes later, Makayla Norman was dead, the victim of nutrition and medical neglect, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

I'm not a bully.

I'm an angel letting everyone know that there are many other important jobs that society values without being uppity about it.

You're stuck up, and can't think objectively if you don't even allow another to have a different point of view with throwing names out.

Sorry, but it was a nurse that threw out the first name call. You can't claim being bullied when you make choices like that.

I'm concerned with your lack of judgement and your ability to treat people with your problems with work. Please take a vaca.

Its one thing to work hard and take responsibility and a whole other situation to get judged against uninformed perfection and get screwed over by it.

If you dont like doctors and nurses, see your lawyer for his treatments and ministrations instead.
Somehow, you never consider that, do you?

Most of you just show up and demand from others with not thought and no clue.

Nobody makes you get in that ambulance, and that ambulance never takes you to a chiropractor or herbalist,does it?
