Medical, nursing schools need to work together | Healthcare Finance News Shared via
AddThis No shit. Ya think?
And it'd be nice to have Nursing's voice taken seriously. Tell the truth- when's the last time (and I love my docs, love love love them) the doctor spent 8 hours at your bedside in ICU, put in your IV in ER, or wiped up your vomit on the med/surg floor? [And if your nurse/nurse's aid DIDN'T, that's not a criticism of nursing. It's a criticism of how thinly stretched nursing is.]
I'm inviting responses, dialogue, criticism, commentary, and your stories. I've got something brewing that can't quite come to a boil, yet, about all this and the health-care/health insurance/public health/personal health debacle/debate that's going on nationally, but I need more points of view, more facets, to properly focus the light so I can see what I'm really looking at.
