I always say.....in my 23 year RN career absolutely nothing has improved for us. Year by year they have widdled away ALL the pros of being a nurse. I'm done.

They also had pensions. Do you know what that word is? It’s unheard of healthcare.

Pre 1984 DRGs didn't exist. The patients stayed until they were ready to go home, families weren't nasty or mad, the acuity hadn't shot up, some pts were up pushing their iv poles. The job was nice.

I don’t remember that, but I do remember when we used to get a merit increase AND a cost of living increase. Now, you’re lucky if you get 2% increase each year.

One time my hospital gave us pocket knives (with the logo). I guess they really don’t know how angry & fed up us nurses are.

This reminds me of a question my husband asked. He said the nurses and pcts are the backbone of the hospital. Why doesn't the hospital cover the bill when yall go to the ER or admission?

Nursing isn’t the same as it used to be. We have lives in our hands, and all we get is reprimanded.
