Don't be intimidated or scared of the mods on Reddit. Say what is right and what is on your mind..about nursing, about nurse managers, about anything. De facto censorship by mods on this or any other group is cowardice.
As an RN with almost 20 years of experience, I must say that it disgusts me that we continue to treat new nurses entering the workforce horribly, almost sadistically. First, we make it almost impossible for them to get a new RN residency job except for home health and at SNFs. Hiring managers at the Level I hospitals and the AI bots they create constantly reject their applications for not having the best qualifications, when in reality it's because they don't have the "right" nursing school pedigree, the "right" clinical placement, or they don't already work there, or they are not well-connected there, etc......Well, not all nurses want to begin their careers in home health or a SNF and many of them were already working in those settings for years and years as CNAs and LVNs. Then, when they do actually get a new RN job, except in maybe 5 states, we pay them terribly, as low as $28 an hour. Finally, when these new nurses step on the floor, we treat them like crap in every way possible. I don't need to go into any detail on this. So, I ask you...How can we reduce this sadistic and snobbish and elitist quality to new nursing jobs and replace it with something more supportive? I am looking at you hiring managers.........especially the sadistic ones.
