This one is for the nurses, by the nurses. Yassss nurses.
In part 2, Jess and Surby discuss important topics within the theme of progression of the nursing profession, or lack thereof. Surby gets heated as she outlines the observations she has made over her 45 year career that hold nursing back from being the respected and valued profession it is.
Some of the topics addressed include:
-Understanding the roles of NP, RN and RPN and where they fit or should fit within the healthcare system.
-Why it is important to acknowledge and respect nurses as specialists in their fields of work.
-The CNO, RNAO and ONA: What they do/don’t do for nurses.
“Take nursing back” is a repeated mantra leaving Jess feeling inspired to figure out a way to create change in her beloved profession, in her own little nursing bubble, and on a much larger scale.
