This is huge news that every nurse should really take to heart.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation surveyed opinion leaders (insurance, corporate, health services, government and industry) and in January 2010 released the results of that survey. That although nursing is one of the most trusted professions, these professionals continuously squander away opportunity to take a lead role in influencing health care.
No one takes us seriously. Why? Might I suggest because we do not take ourselves seriously.
We have the knowledge, the education, the experience and the respect yet we can not find the strength, or path, to use it properly.
Please, read the results of this survey for yourself. More importantly, you must act on it..for the sake of our failing health care systems and to protect health care consumers.
That includes YOU and your own families.
