Nursing in the Dark Ages

I used to think that nursing in the dark ages was more reference to how people practiced caring for people hundreds of years ago. With little to no understanding of what germs were or how their so called "good intentions" resulted in further illness, even death, of the people they were trying to help. It is now 2015 and to my horror I see the age of darkness in health care beginning to return. It is not a case for whether those who practice in the profession of nursing truly care about what they are doing, but more a reflection of the system nurses practice under. It has been 2 years since I last posted to my blog and sad to say I have seen little positive change. Nursing is not progressing forward, but digressing. It is time for moving forward and this will be the year.
