[QUOTE: What is the matter with these nurses that the don't realize that? We just went through a massive reorganization and layoffs yet the new CNO has the nerve to say that his main goal is to increase nurse satisfaction and decrease nurse vacancy. I'd say he is a paying member of ANA in that what he says and what he does are two different things. I am very afraid for our profession.[/QUOTE]

AMEN SISTA AND BROTHA!!! You are "singing to the choir" here! The appears to be a MAJOR DISCONNECT with most of Administration; nurse or not! It's getting worse and worse. . . Administration makes these decisions that affect us directly, those of us who operate on street level, all to the detriment of the patient. . . I am becoming convinced, that those who reside in the altitudes are ALL hypoxic. . . I say, come back down to earth here and experience for yourself the disservice that you have rendered upon all those who are forced to abide by your decisions. . .
