I work in the outpatient setting. The amount of "bar talk" (F-bombs and inappropriate conversations) I hear in the nurses' station shocks me. These behaviors are coming from both nurses and providers. Management walks by and ignores it. Do they think our patients can't hear through the thin walls? Maybe I'm just getting old, but professionalism is declining. I've often spoken out about making simple changes and have always been told my suggestions will not be taken. 🤷♀ They continue to ask for suggestions but I no longer give them. Why would I?
After working around nurses for over 25 years, I don't see how in the hell they could be "the most trusted", who are they comparing them to lawyers? Most nurses are horrible to work with. The way they treat each other is horrific.
One reason for the drop, in my opinion, are low staffing levels at the bedside. Nurses no longer have the time to really bond with their patients. We are now required to be task focused, not patient focused. We run from one task to the next with very little true engagement with our patients.
I miss the days when you could create a relationship with your patients. I knew a surgeon named Isabella that actually fell in love with one of her patients. Poor Izzy’s lover ended up dying. It was really hard for her!
When crisis contracts offered $6,000, 8,000 sometimes more WEEKLY Nursing became transactional. “Getting that bag” became the priority. It became all about money. Patients and their families can see that. The truth is, when I start to take care of my patient at the hospital, they know that I am not that type of nurse and see the difference immediately
Because to most people ,Nursing became *a job*The wrong kind of people,wrong personality types,other jobs marketwise is scarce,..people really just nurse because it is a easily obtainable job.... I know,i have been in Nursing for 42 years,then we dont talk about Entitlement,Criminality.....
You do realize there is another category. Doctor in nursing practice is not a doctorates in research (PHD). Also there is a DO that practices medicine, not just the allopathic doctor (MD). You sound pretty clueless. Doctorates is simply a terminal degree in the subject matter.
@@mariemuhammad5313 as a lifelong nurse I will tell you, we are all aware that there is a doctorate degree in nursing for advanced practice providers. However, PhD should be placed at the end of your name along with any other credentials that are important. “MD” at the beginning of your name when you are not a doctor is misleading and completely inappropriate. To be clear, These are two completely different levels of practice. Go ahead and check out the state practice act for doctors (MD) versus nurse practitioners (a PhD) and nursing does not change the level of practice, prescription privileges, etc)
Part of the reason Nurses have dropped and levels of trust and ethics happens when they misrepresent themselves as a doctor when, in fact, they may have a PhD in nursing. Please remove this credential from your name or clarify why you use it, for example, are you both an advanced practice nurse and a doctor but are choosing to work as a nurse practitioner right now?

Yep! They take away our staffing then ask us "Why are you being so tasked focused?". 🙄

A PHD is different than a MD…

Publicly making fun of their patients on tik tok hasn't really done a whole lot for them
