    In nursing, management doesn’t care about patients because they’ll never implement the actual practices that are known to help patient care like lowering the number of patients nurses need

    That is truly some jokerifcation juice right there.

    The profession is seeing a squeeze already from the boomers retiring and becoming patients and instead of new nurses to replace them, the rate of new nurses is drying up not only because there aren’t enough programs to get new nurses, but people aren’t willing to jump into the field anymore. When there’s a new innovation or someone leaves, the rest of the team is expected to pick up the slack of the person that left.

    Dear lord I hate neoliberalism or whatever economic term describes this. Pick the slack with no extra compensation, literally more work at less pay (because you're doing more at the same rate).

    If the doctor fucks up you’re supposed to catch it if you have anything to do with it, pharmacy fucks up, it’s your job to catch it, blood bank fucks up, it’s your responsibility. I get it, you can’t just mindlessly do the job,

    If this were any other “industry” there would be safeguards that would protect nurse, rather than blaming them.

    Everything you wrote just makes my blood boil, which I can't afford because there won't be a nurse to help with my blood boil-itis
