[b]You do what the doctor says. If you disagree with the doctor, the doctor’s opinion will prevail.[/b] Yes, you are subservient, and should be.[/quote]

I'm a nurse and frankly this frustrated the crap out of me and is a big reason why I left bedside nursing fairly early on.  I was a Hopkins grad, worked in a university teaching hospital and was taking orders from 21 year old residents who knew nothing.  YES, nurses are free to question orders and they are the eyes and the ears at the bedside and in critical care they function under a lot of standing orders (If XYZ, do ABC) which gives more autonomy than floor nursing but ultimately as an RN in a hospital you are not making the decisions or calling the shots. You are following the orders and the decision-making process of another person and may times that person is an idiot. [/quote]

Thank you. Glad you saw the light. A lot of nurse wannabes here pretending this is not the case.[/quote]
