Changing Rules Posted by: Eileen on August 18, 1998 at 02:10:37: I am 47, have been a nurse for 28 years. We used to take care of sick people, now it's bottom-line first. I work in a for-profit nursing home, and with the new Medicare rules, the corporation is cutting staff. I have over twice as many residents to care for as I did six months ago, and I am too old and tired for this crap. I want to take care of people, use my assessment and healing skills, and not just be a robot pill-pusher. I understand from my friends in the profession it is no better in non-profit hospitals. I think I'd rather go clean dog pens, because then you could at least see where you had been. Yes, I'm burned out, yes I need a career change. All the exercise and meditation I have done doesn't help. I am tired of working to pay the investors, rather than provide a service first. Follow Ups
