Tall Poppy Syndrome in Healthcare

This article has been wonderfully articulated. It resonates with myself and many others who have a desire to further develop their career in nursing through education, further time, further effort and financial and family sacrifice to achieve a deeper understanding of health care and the human body. Unfortunately, in some instances, people who have chosen to further their career are stigmatized as thinking they are superior to those who have been happy to practice at their present capacity. Also, in some instances, people who have undergone further education and career development can at times also make others who have not undertaken further studies etc feel inferior and less valued. This has long plagued the nursing profession unfortunately rather than shifting the issue to ''get wit the times'' and encourage a healthy work place where experience is valued and further education is also recognized and acknowledged as an effort to provide better care. Together, if the two can be recognized for their merit, the nursing profession and patient care would greatly benefit.

Good

Appropriate to Nursing in Australia.

It was an experience piece of an entire who had experienced victimization who actually gave up her profession due to this.

great thanks
