Contemporary issues facing the nursing profession today? |
Contemporary issues facing the nursing profession today? Minimal pay for maximum hours and unbelievable responsibility. Did you know that if a nurse gives a medication that is ordered by an MD and it is an inappropriate order written by the MD, the nurse, not the MD is responsible. Pretty sad when the person making so little money in such an important job is the "oversight" for the MDs' mistakes. It DOES happen. No wonder nurses don't want to work in thier field anymore. I got a good one for you. Nurses being able to afford to pay for health insurance, many can't (and those numbers are increasing) because their employers don't pay them enough, their employers no longer pay for the insurance, and the insurance companies keep raising their fees. Kind of sad, when a nurse can't get decent health care, don't you think? |
