Why are so many nurse's sick of working in the hospital?

I know what caused me to leave the acute hospital 10+ years ago.

I moved out of the area and was commuting a crazy distance to a hospital and I was just waiting for a reason to leave.. I got it when I had a conversation with my manager and then my annual evaluation. The first incident had no bearing on my merit raise fyi. ** I was written up due to the fact that we had a patient crash on our medical unit and needed to be transferred to ICU. I document only 5 attempts at calling the MD for this patient... god knows I called 10+ but to no avail. Our house supervisor made the decision to move the patient. When the MD arrived to the unit.. he said I never called.. and he insisted I get written up for bad patient care... My boss said this, I know you did the right thing, but Dr. Ross feels you did'nt do you job and he is the medical director!

** Noelle, you are a wonderful employee... you hold certifications in all units ortho, oncology, well baby nursery, and post partum..

You have had no reported med errors this past year. We appreciate you and wish you would consider the charge nurse position. ( it only paid $20 extra a shift.. and had double the responsibility! )

Your merit increase is .32 cents! ( that was in 1997) I immediately on site gave a 2 weeks notice....

EVERYONE is frustrated with our health care system!! It is irrelevant to what 'level' you are associated in & the frustration often leads to 'a no care' attitude.
YOU must ALWAYS cover your own license & do what is right in your heart. Remember, M.D.'s put their pants on the same way we do & YOU are NOT responsible for another's inablity to admit a mistake nor their practice actions.

For me, it's the stress level and being under appreciated for all we do. We basically get shitted on it seems. Pardon my language,

The politics can be awful!! You shouldn't have signed your write up, especially if the house supervisor was involved at the time, she should have gone to bat for you. I am sick of hospital crap, I also am tired of watching people die. Even the people who are peacefully dying I still don't want to watch anymore. It gets so frustrating when stupid doctors who won't even look at the patient write orders that are way out in left field then wonder why you are calling them to ask what they were thinking. It's a paycheck and steady work. I often wonder why the staff is treated so bad when there are jobs everywhere for professional workers.
