Great try, Vickie, but once again, nurses got short-changed. It’s NOT about ObamaCare, and the questions you were asked did not address the issue you went there to discuss. If the general public’s feelings about nurses are reflective of the attitudes indicated by your interviewers questions, it’s time to throw the tea in the harbor.
Vickie – I must commend you on keeping your cool on the show today. Media seems to have their own agenda, and it certainly does not concern the very serious issue of stress in the nursing profession. I had high hopes that your appearance would at last shed some light on a serious problem that impacts the entire population – whether they are aware of it or not. Sad to say the media was only interested in listening to their own pontifications. Thank you for trying to give us a voice. We all need to keep trying.
Vickie,
You did a great thing for all nurses to get the real news about stress for nurses. The main thing is getting 5 minutes of national exposure. They may not have asked all the questions we would have asked because they are not medically trained people like we are. I hope an investigative reporter takes it to the next level.
Thank you for your courage.
Vickie I commend you for holding your own very professionally when you were bombarded with Obama being the cause of hospital stress for nurses. You did not succumb to the political arena and stayed your focus. I am proud to be a colleague and CLNC® consultant trained by you.
I took this survey and was disgusted to learn that the deplorable conditions I worked under are common practice!
Vickie, thank you for your persistent attempt to educate the public on TV about the survey results.
I was an ICU nurse in a unit without nurses’ aides that worked nights -always without adequate staffing, never got breaks or lunches, considered myself lucky if I was able to use the restroom once in my shift and thought it was a good shift when I left by 9 am!
I remember one night two years ago when every trashcan and dirty linen bin was overflowing – we called and requested assistance with laundry and trash removal. We were advised to read the memo that came out just that day – RNs were to pull trash and remove dirty linens and carry them to another unit on a different floor of the hospital. This, in addition to the other varied and multiple ancillary tasks was laughable and ludicrous!
Too many things to list, but all demonstrate that acute care hospitals equal big business and even bigger bottom lines!

Karen, I’ll never give up!
