Specialty Areas: Community Health, Long Term Care https://nursefriendly.com/atkinson
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: My most pressing concern with the profession is lack of regard I perceive for the Nursing profession. The concern that I have with healthcare is that not everyone has the same access to good healthcare.
Dominique Ann Bernard, RN, BSN, Virginia Nurse Entrepreneurs:"My goal is to work from home.
Currently I am employed in a psychiatric facility and I work part time in a geriatric setting. My interests are varied." ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: I am most concerned about the pressing issues of Nurses leaving the field, for a variety of issues, in the face of a historical shortage, and the trend of healthcare facilities to make economic decisions that negatively impact patient outcomes.
Sheryl D. Bisson, R.N., CLNC, California Legal Nurse Consultants:"I offer services to aid in the resolution of medical-legal issues. I work for law firms, insurance companies and healthcare facilities. My services include, but are not limited to: medical record review and analysis; identifying applicable Standards of Care and deviations from the Standards; identifying records, policies and procedures and other essential documents for complete case reviews." ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The undervaluation of nursing by corporate takeover of healthcare threatens access to care and quality of care/safety for all healthcare consumers.
https://nursefriendly.com/brandman
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: That nurses are made to work in dangerous circumstances r/t poor staffing & too much of a patient load with much sicker patients. Patients are not be cared for adequately because of these issues.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: I am worried re the cutbacks taking place in hospitals as a result of the HMOs and cost-cutting measures. Nurses are asked to do much more with less or unskilled help.
Michelle L. Callan Nurse-Attorney:"Medical-legal consulting and trial assistance to attorneys for Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice cases." ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The influence of HMOs on quality of care over the past few years has been appalling. When health care decisions are made using money as a yardstick many patients come out on the short end. Especially those patients who are uneducated about the kind of health care they can expect for specific illnesses. Cutbacks in health care dollars have eliminated education programs ie diabetes and heart disease in my area. I am seeing more and more complications from these two diseases and the patients I see are much sicker then ten years ago.
Specialty Areas: Recovery Room PACU https://nursefriendly.com/carey/
"Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: I am most concerned with the growing trend of RN, CNA staffing and the phasing out of LPNs. Also the continual Medicare cuts and the likelihood that the whole program will be gone by the time this generation needs it. I am also bothered by the effect the cuts are having on our seniors today."
Specialty Area: Home Health https://nursefriendly.com/charleston
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The most pressing concern with the nursing profession, is the increased risk of liability with the advancements in technology, and not enough authority to effect changes. Nurses today, are making the same assessments and decisions that Physicians were making 30-40 years ago. Physicians are becoming more of administrators of care, navigating the waters of insurances and just giving a final okay on most nursing assessments. It is my hope that someday healthcare will return back to being a profession for healers, and not insurance administrators.

I think what concerns most of us thogh is the patient to staff ratios and the safety of the patients under our care. Staffing problems are a complicated issue that must be corrected before our profession will be attractive to young people choosing a career.
Alyce Clark, RN, Caregiver Scrubs, Nursing Uniforms, Nurse-Owned Businesses, Entrepreneurs:"Sales of scrubs and accessories to medical personnel in hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, dental offices, and veterinary clinics." ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Understated recognition for the education and knowledge that nurses possess--leading to severe underpayment for our services
Natalie A. Cole, RN, BHSA, CMCN, LNC, West Virginia Legal Nurse Consultants:"I provide medical record reviews and case analyses for attorneys working in medical malpractice, wrongful death, personal injury, and general negligence. My skills and education as a Registered Nurse, in addition to my training as a Legal Nurse
Consultant, eases the burden of other legal team members by allowing them to concentrate on other important areas of a case." ****************************************************** "Healthcare has certainly become big business. So many times in big business the social conscious aspect is lost. Healthcare professionals need to lead from the front on getting issues recognized and changed to benefit all. I am worried that all healthcare professionals are not taught to give back something to their community - something we all need to work harder at doing."

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The growing shortage of Nurses in the entire healthcare arena, in every specialty and setting, and the new graduates entering the profession for sometimes different reasons than of those more experienced nurses leaving the profession. Ultimately, nurses use their experience and expertise of the inner workings of the healthcare system to provide quality care to the patients.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The failure of hospital administration and insurance companies to recognize the real root of the "nursing shortage" problem. This has been going on for the 25 years I have been an RN, and they just don't get it. Like the other service professions i.e., teacher, firefighters, police, nurses are overworked, underappreciated (until you really need one) and underpaid. From the perspective of a CRNA the answer is blindingly obvious. There is no shortage of nurses wanting to become CRNAs. Why? The median salary for a Graduate Nurse Anesthetist is $113,000. (AANA figure) Start paying nurses what they are worth and there will be no shortage. It's simple supply/demand economics that administrators have ignored for decades.
Patrick Dupont BSN, CRNA, CLNC Alpha Medical-Legal Consulting, Inc.:"25 years as an RN including 22 years as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) with extensive experience in anesthesia administration for surgical procedures including general, orthopedic, neurosurgical, cardiothoracic, vascular, ENT, GYN, trauma, plastic and reconstructive, cosmetic, interventional radiology, labor and delivery including administration and monitoring of labor epidurals, invasive line placement and monitoring, emergency airway management, outpatient and ambulatory surgical procedures, regional anesthetics, conscious sedation and post-anesthesia care. ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Too few nurses, the acuity of patients is getting higher, too much interference by managed care organizations, Nurses do not get paid for what they accomplish and do everyday.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The nursing shortage... how can expect anyone to even "want" to be a nurse while we continue to "eat our young" and bicker amongst ourselves? It's a sad state of affairs and the entire nation will suffer for it. I am taking a step back to put it all in perspective, but I hope to somehow help in the end.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The amount of people that are joining the profession for the wrong reasons. People know of the nursing shortage, and know that jobs in this profession are plentiful, but some people would make a better dog warden than a nurse.

https://nursefriendly.com/heck/
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Lack of self respect I see in other nurses. Long hours, little pay, and lack of respect by MDs have taken a toll on the nursing profession. I believe it is time to take back our autonomy and whip the healthcare system back into shape. It is time to focus on quality of life rather than longivity.

"Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: For the profession, the clinical setting has become so difficult that most nurses want to get away from it. I personally am torn that I no longer have direct contact with patients. However, I have no desire to work in a hospital with the twelve hour days, the patient load, difficult doctors. The paperwork is so heavy that time is taken up doing paper work instead of direct patient care. Nurses in the clinical setting are caught between the doctor, the patient and the patient's family, and administration. Clinic jobs are less stressful, but don't pay very well. Healthcare - I believe this county is in desperate need of some type of national healthcare program. It could be an elective program so that people might choose between private insurers or government insurance. I feel that middle class people do not have access to health care - at this point it is more accessible to the very rich or very poor."
Merrie A Kidd, R.N., B.S.N., Medical Records Review, Louisiana Nurse Entrepreneurs:"Medical Records Review produces thorough and comprehensive reviews of medical records to assist attorneys who

of the case utilizing the complaint or petition for damages as a reference point. Additional services include preparation of draft
submissions for medical panel review and preparation of interrogatories
for depositions." ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Growing lack of interest in a nursing career. Nursing shortages are at crucial levels across this nation. Many nurses have licenses in escrow because they are burnt- out or just tired of the misuse of nursing talents. Respect for nurses has been a long suffered issue that will only change when nurse unite and no longer fear supporting each other. Make your voice known. Join and take active roles in nurse organizations.

Specialty Areas:
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: You want me to pick MOST pressing? OY! I am concerned that nurses are expected to maintain rolls of personal and professional integrity and leadership, be aggressive patient advocates, maintain and practice a high level of clinical expertise, complete complex, multitudinous tasks of documentation, meet ever-growing requirements for risk management and privacy and still be low man on the totem-pole in terms of professional prestige, broad-based respect and monetary renumeration. Consider: What gets cut when a hospital's in a financial crunch? Nursing, both in staffing numbers and pay. Auto workers who strike for more money have other unions walk out on sympathy strikes. Nurses who strike for patient safety (and God forbid fair pay) are vilified. Patients are admitted to hospitals for one reason: To receive nursing care. Without nursing, hospitals are just very large, very expensive outpatient clinics. And don't even get me started in healthcare because the internet is just not that big!!!!
Gifts For Nurses, Accessories, Custom Embroidery, Logo items http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/lowry
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: The nursing shortage and the weak skills of many of our nursing students (basic math, reading and writing skills). Grade inflation is causing weak students to be admitted and retained. Our "best and brightest" are not interested in nursing as a career. Many students are not coming to the profession from their "hearts" but rather to make money or to work 12 hour shifts. Students with disabilities, with a strong willingness to practice, are often turned away from nursing. Despite passage of the ADA, workplace accommodations for nurses with disabilities remains poor.

We provide links to disability related organizations, mentors, employment opportunities, financial aid, continuing education, books, equipment, legal issues, research, related articles as well as support and career counseling. ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Nurses are required to spend a large amount of time documenting and protecting themselves legally, taking time away from patients. The nursing shortage is a concern both for the heavily burdened nurse providing care and the patient in need of quality care. The overuse of pharmaceuticals and the lack of focus on prevention. The cost of preventing a heart attack versus treating a heart attack. The healthcare system practices an expensive emergency medicine approach to most health care issues. Lack of personal responsibility for our own health in the general population is driving the cost of healthcare up for everyone of us.

I see a disturbing trend among hospitals that require more and more from nurses and they require nurses to get it all done in the same 12 hours as before. It seems to be all about moving patients along as fast as possible with little or no care as to what the patient thinks or continuity of care.

They lack the experience necessary to work these areas. When we get a trauma in they panic and puts the patient and other nurses at risk. The saying a nurse is a nurse is a nurse is not true. Areas of nursing are to specialized and nurses need adequate training. The shortage of nurses has put the emphasis on filling vacancy's with anyone with a license.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: I feel that lack of corporate response and support is the greatest concern for the nursing profession. No matter what clinical setting you are in, you are always limited in what you can do by corporate policy and directives. There is little exchange of ideas for the improvement of patient care or employee benefits. Even tiny tokens of appreciation for my staff had to go through corporate, and were often denied due to "budgetary restrictions." (Which is appalling, given their 6 figure incomes!) Nurses and ancillary staff continue to be under paid and overworked. This is not going to change unless those at the top start to listen to us peons!

The main focus and goal is not the safety and care of the patient. the main concern is to MAKE MONEY. It has almost come to the point which forces nurses to make a choice. To remain in hospitals and keep your mouth shut and compromise your own integrity by overlooking the changes that are taking place which do not allow a nurse to practice the patient oriented nursing we are taught and believe in. Or we have to choose to leave the hospital setting and find other areas to practice in."

Trisha RN CCRN LNC, Texas:"Medical-Legal Consultant, Medical Bill Analysis, Testifying Expert."
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: That nurses will leave the health care industry for more of a business career. The idea of being a nurse is not as glamorous as it used to be. We work long hours, short staff, less pay, overtime, take cuts in pay just to keep a float. There are no incentives to continue with CEU's for most facilities no longer pay for them. This is a big issue and does not keep the nurses up to date with healthcare. You have to be on too many committees within your facility in order to get a raise. They don't care about your family and if you get to spend quality time with them, as long as the floor has a warm body to give nursing care.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: With managed care hospital admissions have decreased greatly and I foresee more nurse being out of jobs. One of my biggest concerns is taking care of AIDS patients because even though I use universal precautions if I accidentally get stuck with a dirty needle Ill probably get the virus and then worry about giving it to my husband. "Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Nursing shortage and the fact that current nurses are discouraging others from becoming a nurse. Also increased paperwork for bedside nurses. It is very difficult to provide full nursing care because of the mounds of paperwork required. New forms arrive frequently."

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: First I am very concerned that nurses can obtain a license via an online education and then take a State Board via computer center in just a few hours. It escapes me as to how one can expect these graduates to care for patients in a safe environment. I find it truly frightening - especially in today’s' health care environment where inpatients are so much sicker then they were years ago. Second, I am very concerned about nursing ratios. We need to keep ratios so that patients can be provided the care they need and deserve. Not providing enough nursing hours seems to frequently be a theme in the malpractice cases I see. Lastly, I am concerned about the foreign nurses who are being brought to this country, promised a great future and again, are not being properly prepared. I do not believe they really know and understand what they are liable for. I was in a deposition with a foreign ICU nurse - we struggled to do a basic deposition as the nurse could not communicate. We needed an interrupter. To think of her caring for a critically ill patient with everything in English, is beyond scary. I felt very sad for her in that she was found accountable for a horrible patient outcome - and I really do not believe she had any idea of the position she had put herself in.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: My most pressing concern is the shortage in nursing. I have noticed it in my career thus far and only expect it to get worse. Instead of raising the pay to recruit nurses, hospitals are hiring more assistive type help and accepting lower educated nurses. The patients are the ones who suffer the most and then the nurses get burned out and leave. ****************************************************** Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Future of nursing and quality of patient care in an increasing managed care environment. ************************************************************************************************************ ****************************************************** For Health Information you can use, Follow, Connect, Like us on (Most Invites Accepted): https://nursefriendly.com/social/: Twitter! https://nursefriendly.com/twitter Blogger: http://4nursing.blogspot.com Facebook: https://nursefriendly.com/facebook Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nursefriendly ******************************************************
