Well, it has been a while since I made an entry in to my blog. I do appologize but I have been rather busy updating the web site. I have added a page for news articles. I figured if I was doing reading and research in to what was happening in healthcare and nursing around the world it only made sense to take my readers with me.
One of my previous posts was in regards to hearing very little in the media around Nurse Week. A reader recently responded with a very understandable dislike for nurses. The typical phrase we must tell callers, "I'm sorry but I can not give you that information". He was concerned for a family member and "we" were instructed (by legalities) not to give out information except to immediate family.
I definitely do not blame him for his anger and frustration. Governments and health authorities give little explanation to the general public (in too many instances) as to why we do things, PLUS, there are far too many (unnecessary) rules. What ever happened to human compassion as opposed to "let's not get our asses sued".
I'm frustrated too!
