The nursing employment sector, based upon the profit motive, is, by it's very nature, inimical to providing that sort of working environment which is conducive to retaining nurses and encouraging individuals to go into nursing. The profit motive encourages a combative, exploitive, deceptive, and unco-operative attitude, by management, towards nurses. Nursing, itself, requires co-operation, an honorable attitude, strict rules of personal conduct towards patients, their families, and other health care workers, and significant personal and financial sacrifice to both become and remain in nursing.<BR/>The two are inherently incompatible. The result is the nursing shortage.<BR/>I suggest, therefore, that a National Nurse Corps be created along military lines. Nurses, in the same, would have job security, reasonable working conditions, reasonable opportunities for advancement, and protection from arbitrary and unjust job actions.<BR/>The same would be compatible with providing quality nursing care, encouraging individuals to go into and remain in nursing, and, most importantly, create an health care environment in which the commitment to quality health care is justly rewarded.<BR/>There is discrimination against men in nursing employment and education that must be appropriately addressed through laws and regulations. Protecting men from this kind of discrimination will encourage men to enter into and remain in nursing which help alleviate the nursing shortage.Marcus Aureliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356156676523760830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246967.post-86589922754131120812008-12-06T23:18:00.000-05:002008-12-06T23:18:00.000-05:00I'd like to Post a CommentDid you hear the good ne...I'd like to <A HREF="http://moneyloansfinance.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Post a Comment</A><BR/><BR/><B>Did you hear the good news? </B>Obama is making it better for us already! Most people don't realize how much money there is out there. During economic times like this, there is more money to be had than ever. Because of the bailouts and economy, lenders are bending over backwards to bail you out too. Believe it or not, there is people getting tons of cheap money nowdays to start businesses, buy homes, pay off debt, and more. <A HREF="http://moneyloansfinance.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Bailout is for YOU</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
