by Jammie via Jammie Wearing Fools
I started my nursing career at Albany Medical Center across the street from
the VA as a candy striper at age 15. I looked up to the student nurses and
dreamed of becoming one. I won the hospital auxiliary scholarship to attend
nursing school with my essay “Why I want to become a nurse.” I wanted to
take care of people and make a difference in their lives when they were
feeling their worst.
Many of our veterans are returning from combat with lost limbs, shattered
bones, brain injuries and sexual assaults. Others who served years ago are
aging and face health complications. I have a passion for psychiatric
nursing because I want to take care of “invisible wounds,” or
psychological suffering.
In recent years, it’s been very discouraging to watch the level of care
given to veterans deteriorate. Their ability to make choices and be involved
in their treatment is disregarded. There’s no oversight of the local
leadership and no accountability for how they treat employees and veterans.
That has harmed patient care and staff morale.
The Albany VA hospital is now part of a national scandal involving veterans
who have died while waiting for care, the falsification of appointment
schedules, and retaliation against whistleblowers. My case is one of dozens
under investigation.
Since my removal, other nurse managers have told me what is going on in the
hospice and geriatric units.
Last month, they found that a nurse had been diverting morphine. He was
withdrawing the drug from vials and replacing it with water or some other
unknown substance.
Over the past year, this had occurred more than 5,000 times. | U********S

发帖数: 28562 | 7 VA medical system 一向都有严重的问题，但是因为和军方有关，所以有了问题经常也
是捂着，直到捂不住了爆出来为止。前几年不是还报了个Walter Reed Army Medical
Center么，说里面的情况非常的糟糕，病房里的地毯上全是污垢，病房的墙上长着黑霉
，很多病人的房间没有水和暖气。事情爆发出来后政府说一定会解决，最后还不是老样
子。
