Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: My most pressing concern with the profession is that nurses are not organized together. Nurses in general are not the type of people to organize themselves with whole of nursing. For this reason groups take advantage of nurses by not respecting the profession and the abilities of nurses. Health care is slowly being controled by the few (insurance companies) Hospitals and the like. Due to this healthcare costs are going through the roof. With the baby boomers aging we will need more access to health professionals. I am afraid that the rising costs will delay treatment to those that may desperately need the attention.
