Our Most Pressing Concerns With Healthcare

[nursinghumor]

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The most pressing concern with the nursing profession, is the increased risk of liability with the advancements in technology, and not enough authority to effect changes. Nurses today, are making the same assessments and decisions that Physicians were making 30-40 years ago. Physicians are becoming more of administrators of care, navigating the waters of insurances and just giving a final okay on most nursing assessments. It is my hope that someday healthcare will return back to being a profession for healers, and not insurance administrators.

I think you guys are absolutly right! I am a new grad and I would love to work in the ICU but I am so glad I started out on a PCU unit. Our system put me through 3 months of internship with a preceptor. I had to take the PBDS before I started and after to see how much I have learned and all the interns had to take a lot of classes through the hospital during the internship. Although I know people who came right out of school and work in the ICU, I do believe that decision is a bit premature. When we graduate we don't really know what the reality of nursing is.

wow this is old

[cougarnurse]

It still bears thinking about, right?

[kdrner]

if that is where they want to work, we should give them the right to learn. they should stay on orientation with an experienced nurse until the experienced nurse thinks it's OK for them to handle things on their own. it's not right to trashtalk new nurses like this... you were a new nurse once too. now you're "eating your young". don't get me wrong, i'm an experienced ER nurse and i have concerns about new grads coming to ER as well, but they have the right to go through a proper orientation program and then if they do well, their preceptor can release them. if they are not cut out for critical care or ER, then the manager should be told after the orientation and the nurse helped to get a job in a different area.

"physicians are becoming more administrators of care"? Yeah right! whoever wrote this knows nothing about being an MD. the nurses are the administrators of care. the physicians just write the orders, interpret and order the tests... and half the time don't even look at the patient. what a crock.

Amen to that! THEY write, WE administer the meds, the enema, the IV, treatments, etc.

Thank you for your comments, kdrner!

BTW, I have added to your board reputation.
