This is key. My son is an RN and he explained early on that a nurse is trained to be a patient advocate. I had great nurses recently in hospital and I told them so!
When I attended journalism school we were taught that our job is to provide the Who, What, When, Where, Why for the consumer. Obviously now they are taught to manipulate the facts to influence the consumer's views. If nursing loses the 'patient advocate' orientation, the last safety net may be lost in the medical profession.
Doctors have been bludgeoned by 'the system', threatened with losing their license to practice; originally the govt license was intended to protect the doctor from untrained wannabes. Spend 10 years of your life and perhaps $1/4 million or more to obtain the license and you understand the physician's dilemma in 'the system'. To set up one's own practice costs a fortune - and to sustain it. The govt issues the license for both physicians and nurses - and now the govt has realized its powerâť—
At that point many could create their own practice and usually they do it with other doctors. But, it appears they never lose the desire for more and more bucks. Ignoring what they were tasked and swore to do: do no harm and put the patient first.They do neither.
