Well, that's hard to say. Travel nursing is pretty demanding and the travelers are expected to perform with very little orientation. It would be pretty hard to slip through the cracks. The article reads that 89 of these fake nurses were working at the VA. Can you imagine?
I have the feeling that this happens a lot with nurses and with doctors as well. I hope that these imposters are removed from the system and some integrity can be restored to patient care.
My daughter is a surgical nurse and I guarantee I have heard an earful about so much incompetence in the nursing profession...but at least she is on a robotics team that requires a little more skill...yeah hospitals have sunk to the lowest depths ever...
I would imagine that these nurses working at VA hospitals/clinics is one reason why the VA is so broken. I hope they get rid of these frauds, but then how many licensed doctors/nurses and really incompetent and dangerous...all the more motivation to never need a hospital OR doctor...self care is the way to go...
That's correct, fren. I am an RN and I suggest that everyone work as hard as they can to stay out of the hospital.
My 87 year old dad was admitted last week for small bowel obstruction. I stayed by his side every minute, and thank God I did, bc there were quite a few errors made (for example, he was not allowed food or drink and he also did not have an IV. 87 years old, nvd for 3 days and no fluids? No.) I don't know how people who don't have medical people in their families survive any hospitalization. The hospital is very, very dangerous.
It's hard to want to imagine incompetence in the OR, but I believe you and I know it happens. You have the right idea - stay away from the doctor and the hospital!
I have worked with them! Lots of diversity hires who bunch up in the corner on night shift!
Are they the travelers making the big bucks?????
