[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 88577, member: 484"] My wife was instrumental in attempting to create what they call a magnet hospital. But unfortunately, after spending almost four years on the matter, much of it on her own time, they just did not see the need. As for nursing, travelers make anywhere from 60-95 or more an hour with no bennies. Some even have a 6 month sign on bonus in the 5 figures. And many will assist you in housing. As for time off, yeah right. Just like you get a day off when you want it without pay. Just doesn't happen. Then lemme see, how many docs do you have riding your case all day with no place to go but the bathroom to get relief? How many patients can you see in a days time when three take 5 hours, two take four, and the other 19 take at least an hour each. And that is only in one shift. Not to mention answering kindly the families of each patient that have all those little annoying questions like when is the doctor coming by, or daddies breathing, is that normal? Then add to that the pharmacy screws up the order and luckily you catch it before you kill the person, you cant read what the doctor ordered, so you have to document and find out what they need. And will all that, you have at least 30 forms to fill out on each patient, may of which take half an hour. Oh and dont forget to prep those patients for the surgery today. and heaven forbid you have one die on your watch.......... Then of course you have the wonderfully timed visits by the nursing supervisor that end up taking time. One more thing, you want an anal exam? Try letting the med cabinet be off count by one pill. There will be no less than 30 climbing all over you and the rest of the staff before you go home. Even if you did not enter the med room all shift. So while you are attempting to draw parallels to our job and theirs, it is a bit more stressful dont you think? After all, there is a difference between the life of a human and the condition of a package. d [/QUOTE]
