1. Matron or ward in charge always disgrace their subordinates in the presence of the patients they're caring for. Unlike doctors who call their colleagues to a private room to inform them of their mistakes.
2. Their matrons don't normally involved themselves in care of the patients, leaving the whole work for their colleagues. Unlike consultants who always monitor their colleagues and patients through ward rounds.
3. They don't care to pass their knowledge to the junior ones.
4. Their heads at the top don't want the profession to grow, because many of their leaders are not degree holders. They are still working with RN certificate.
5. They don't do internship, which may be one of the reason, their salary is not attractive as doctors, pharmacist, and med labs. And they are placed below these professions in the health sector.
6. School of nursing should be scrapped or those who graduated from school of nursing should not spent more than two years in the university.
7. They are always afraid to go on strike to get what they want as doctors do.

There must be a change in that proffesion, op ure right, even dey do so to their students when on their training. I cant imagine being a male and continue with the shit and low esteem some c.n.o.s indulge in. But i believe very soon d proffesion will be filled wt degree holders, d future is bright i knw dat 4 sure. Most of d rn holders and olders are about to retire and new and young nurses are coming aboard.
Nurses should pls try to join politics so has to gain ground in d political field and to fight 4 d proffesion.
