Nursing Back

Realize that this video was posted 4 years ago.
There's not a shortage of nurses, just a shortage of nurses willing to put up with all the BS and administrative people running the show. It's no longer healthcare- it's "business" with "productivity" quotas (at least in home health)

Nursing shortage? Where? I graduated 5 months ago no job. I have a BSN from a major university in a major city. The university I graduated from is highly ranked and was the first to offer a BSN. No sooner than Obama got in office hospitals cut out signing bonuses and cut back on hiring new grads. Obama with all his talk of nationalizing health care has hurt new grads like my self. Now I have to pay back student loans with no job.

Apparently you don't have a clue what it means to be a nurse. From my own experience and from national surveys, nursing is considered a highly respected profession by patients and staff. Doctors are working more collaboratively with nurses. Nurses are becoming better and better trained (with a bachelor's considered the minimum acceptable level by many organizations), making them more indispensable.
Oh, and I am a male approaching psychiatric nurse practitioner. Excellent pay, good respect

Keep telling yourself that. Nurses don't respect themselves or each other. Patients don't give a damn. Most believe that are getting their money's worth by working you to the ground. Excellent pay? good respect? HA. A nurse practitioner does the job of a doctor but with much LESS pay and respect and there is an oversaturation of NP's so good luck even finding a job. Another one believing the lies....

@told85 meh, forget it. Enjoy your trolling :)
