Swear to Care

OK, lets get to it. I am here to rant about the treatment nurses are getting here in Arizona. Never have I seen such disrespect for this profession. The name of the game for the hospice health care providers is “Work them long and Cut their pay”.

The statement I made in my first blog about needing to get some sleep was in reference to what the health care providers feel all NOC (Night) nurses do. In specific, what I was told by my boss recently was NOC Nurses really are not worth more pay or fairer treatment because “All you do is sleep”.

I felt that after five years of this crap of working hundreds of hours and not getting paid for all of the hours of work it was time I provided the world a look inside of what NOC hospice nurses have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.

But first, Let’s get this straight, I really love what I do, it was a life long dream to become a nurse and I know how in other states we are treated with respect and paid accordingly.

I’ll be back frequently to provide very specific details of exactly how I and the other nurses in by crew are being treated. I’ll also be reporting on what my bosses and their company is doing to keep from paying us the hours of time we spend with the dieing patients.

Until then, I would love to here from others on what they have experienced or how they feel about what I am providing to the world.
