Nurses and other groups that study them expand upon the cause for disarray and lost labor pool, identifying  the eroding effect upon both the individual and the profession of inability to perform the job well; the exclusionary hegemony inherent in the facilities in which they are employed;  the lack of a) educators, b) mentors, and also c)  non-bedside nurses in positions of power within their facilities and who balance non nurse management and do not merely reinforce it [all three of which are identified as essential support to the nurse both within and in preparation for the job]; the Image of Nursing informed by the a) public image of nursing b) nurse's image of themselves c) the image of nursing by those who manage her; horizontal violence;  diminished self esteem;   and the eroding of needed involvement in professional organizations and lobbying entities thus undermining the profession in entirety .

Other complaints of nurses and sub-grouped or interfaced with one or more of the above are issues of rotation; holiday allotment and its lack of enticements; weekend work; floating; floating to area's outside  area of expertise; punitive measures unfairly excercised by management;  and the inability to hold those who manage her accountable to the effects of the conditions imposed upon both the nurse and the nurse's ability to do her work, endangering her professional responsibility as patient advocate.

All of the above exert affect on The state of nursing itself, [its educational requirements and indoctrination, its code and the ability of nurse lobby groups and of each practitioner  to succesfully lobby on his/her own or communal behalf ] .
