Survey | This is NOT Child's Play: Our Children, Their Health, and How Nursing Can Help > WEB65: "The 'yes' is for those practicing RN's in leadership or clinical work - specialized or not, who know the first question for IOM at RWF is: 'How did you determine that quality nsg. or med. is bad before you create at least 16 new areas for Executive Branch Government to intercede - not counting Education-Labor-DOJ-FTC - in something it has a demonstrated history of statistical errors in application of nursing theory to clinical or leadership care. Statistical in that creating a 'collective-group' for care required to one-person-in whatever multiple roles he/she occupies with relation to the Total-unique-person. In other words group-think doesn't really produce any improvement in patient care; especially when 1:1 care whether as a leader over other professionals or the implementer of care as a professional to a family with or without the pediatric-adolescent - or over the age continuum. Remember the $14.25 Trillion that represents $163,959.00/Citizen & growing!"

Not a problem of the presenter. A problem of 'Group-think" that pervades nursing as it gets sucked into areas it does not belong. Because IOM at RWF starts to make changes based on "assumptions" not true in fact or in practice; everything goes down-hill. All the indoctrination regarding 'future of nursing' is lost, because nursing is defined by the inaccuracies and demands of the Executvie Branch of government force and control..along with definitions. Example: Question:"Do you think IOM/RWF Plan is realistic?". No-one has answered: "Do you think the IOM/RWF is necessary and supported by the goals of JCHA, JCAHO, Standards of Practice for virtually every specialty in nursing including acute hospital care as well as ICU_CCU; with CONTINUING involvement of all listed orgs. ...EXCEPT the increased perversion of The Executive Branch of Federal Government in a role which ignores the 'checks and balances' between the THREE Levels of government.

The Government cannot perform nursing care better than nurses can. The Dept. of Labor with the Dept. of Justice cannot measure the statistics of quality-person-to-person dynamics of coworker, leader, or caregiver in any setting. The Federal Government is incapable of "person" as a member of the species homo sapiens with cognitive skills. It comprehends group-thinking with all assumptions defined and determined BEFORE any nurse or group of nurses have any say; and it is absent any regard or recognition of the quality of person care - existing in the finest practice of medicine in the world ----- including Nursing Care and Leadership!
