Nurses May Be Their Own Worst Enemy
Category: Seeing Clearly Now
Wow!! I just read what amounts to a scathing indictment of the nursing profession and its leadership. It is posted at Universal Health. You may need to wear protective clothing to approach this "bedside."
Nurses: Prostituting for the Healthcare System Pimp
Nurses, who by social contract, are supposed to serve as patients' advocates, have prostituted themselves for the health care system pimp. As long as nurses continue to be violent toward fellow nurses, the public will continue to pay with its health.

Thanks for linking to the article.
The post isn't an indictment, though, but a clarion call to the profession to become more aware of the manipulation of it by corporate power-brokers. Please read other posts which deal with bases of power, deal with the issues of basic education and which address alternatives for nursing to address these and move forward so that better patient care and patient advocacy may be achieved. The Invisible Profession and Nursing: Key Demographics may be useful as resources.
I'll be happy to entertain questions and challenges, as well as to refer those not in my ability to answer to experts in the field.
Thanks for your interest.
