I was an RN for over 30 years, and even in nursing it’s more and more documentation. When I was still working, I asked the head honcho after she informed us of more paper work, just when were we suppose to have time for the patient? She was not a happy camper with my question. Anyone who starts to talk to me about nursing, I tell them to stay the hell out of nursing, you will drown in paper work, and end up with a bad back and bad feet. When I retired, back in 2004, I felt such a relief. It wasn’t the patient, or the patient care, it was the politics and endless paper work. I’ll say it again, to those who are even thinking of going into nursing, find another vocation.

My wife is going on 16 years as a MA. Same thing. More & more work is heaped on them. Some days she goes to work and there are no patients for that day,just catching up on paperwork(computer entries.) She now comes home very tired every work day. Nursing and MA are two different things though.
