I created this blog to keep thoughts, comments and feedback from others as I reflect on my own nursing profession and the status of nurses world wide.
I am a freelance writer and hope to publish real life stories of REAL nursing. Too often it's not pretty, and it the profession is little appreciated by many.
Since Florence Nightingales time, there are days I feel nursing has made little more progress than mere handmaids of physicians. Even nurses, though registering bodies "talk the talk" sort to speak, think little of their own knowledge and abilities. We could be, we are , so much more than most realize or want to talk about.
This blog is a chance to share, freely and openly, thoughts, feeling, encounters with the nursing profession. Please be aware, I will probably use posts to this blog in my book. But also realize anonimity will be respected as much as possible. I for one am not afraid to speak, for the good or bad , about the truths of the profession, as I see and have experienced them.
It is a good profession, an honest one, and a hellishly difficult one. Nurses can be abused, ignored, misused, revered, abandoned and loved. I still recommend it as a career for men or women, but suggest any person entering do so with a strong will and an open mind.
