This is a topic I am very interested in I will explore this topic in a series of post.

My first input is that nurses must be treated properly while working to ensure that there health and happiness and objectivity is   being    maintained

It is imperitive that while caring for others the nurse health and happiness must not be jeopardize this will be my introduction and i will gradually build on this topic.

griercamlle-In a perfect world, all this would be true.

I don't really know where to go with this.

Note  Iam going to be putting forth my ideas on what I think can and should be done but this topic is not to  discourage or undermine the work of nurses.

The goal is to improve those of us whose nursing experience has not always been so good.

I dont want this topic to create any bad feelings are unhappiness.

Nursing career can be a happy experience if certain tools are set in place. It has not always been a happy experience for me but I am sure it has been for the majority of nurses.

What type of facility are you referring to?

15 to 1? where is this?what is this??

My next point to tackle is this I recently had stint working night shift in a hospital. The staff were wonderful, their code of ethics in the work place was marvelous however  I did find a few flaws.

1) I recommend that the computerize system that has been implemented for charting either be imputed by a select person or they develop some technique to prevent the transference from the computer keys bacteria each time different people use the computers, as often times some people may not have washed their hands it should be washed but some dont. 

A  hospital is filled with many bugs. It was reported to me that more than one nurse had come down with pneumonia and a couple had dropped dead. I myself developed a severe sinus infection. My finger also became infected after I had to slide it into a slot to punch in.

I will continue addressing other issues

until next time 

Ps I want to change the eopic from Ethics in the workplace to problem in nursing.

I refer to the ltc( nursing) when addressing patient ratio.

My next problem to tackle is how does one distinguish the role of the lpn from the cna when your boss says you are there supervisor yet you are punished if they refuse to follow direction and seek retribution against you when you are only trying to do your job. If you are nice they say you are weak if you are strict they say you are overbearing. 

 

This is also every RN's dilemma.  People/coworkers are often to quick to judgement rather than stopping to think things through.  Instead of doing as directed, the thought seems to be they are over worked as if you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. 

It would be excellent if you would respond to some of the questions posed rather than turn this into one person's rant

Teamwork has to be the key for this and educating everyone into following the proper chain of command.It is very difficult to achieve this but good faculty meetings and mediators can assist with getting everyone on the same page and getting people to all work towards the same goal..."EXCELLANT PATIENT CARE"

Frank...

Good response.

How can we help those whom are struggling. I have worked in the legal system and the teaching system and the one that displeasures me most is nursing (and not because of the patients thats the best part)

God bless.

Could you wear gloves while you're doing these things?  To protech yourself and your patients?
