Masters UGH,LOL.I bet more school it the last thing she is thinking of right now. Speaking as a nurse that has been up and down the ladder I suggest getting a good solid floor nursing foundation, So many young nurses climb the ladder too fast because administration pushes education, I have seen bedside nursing skills drasticly decline over the last several years. Most administative nurses have totaly forgotten the reality of bedside nursing and what it takes. I can speak from both ends I have been everywhere on the ladder from aide,to Director of Nursing and now reside on night shift back on one of the lower rungs lol.
I hear you on the decrease in nursing skills....There is a nurse where I work who says it's "not in her job description" to change the briefs of our incontinent residents. (I work in a facility for mentally and physically challenged adults.) For heaven's sake, who did it when Florence Nightingale was working!? I'll bet she didn't even HAVE an aide to help her! Sorry, I just had to vent a bit.
