This is the time for nurses to coordinate and make the changes that are needed to protect our profession.
The present and future nursing shortage can make our lives a lot harder than it needs to be.
We can make the difference in how the future unrolls and how our workplace issues worsen or improve.
It does not have to be a union. It does not have to be anarchy. It just has to be enough nurses with enough voices to make the difference.
I want so much more for nurses.
I am not looking for Disney World (The happiest place on earth), but I am looking for places that nurses can go into work glad to be there and not wondering (or expecting) if they are going to need KY for the shift.
I want insurance benefits that are better for nurses, cheaper and easier access to health care. it should be a perk.
I want retirement similar to police workers and firefighters or the government controlled retirement for railroad workers.
I want staffing ratios that take safe practice for patient acuities in to consideration and I want those decisions followed and respected.
I WANT SO MUCH MORE AND I WANT OTHER NURSES VOICES TO JOIN ME WHO FEEL THE SAME!!!!!
I have about one thousand other ideas and I want them in effect.
