[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ In a hospital setting, nurses do not work for doctors. they work for the hospital. Nurses are not subserviant.”

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

What?  Again it's a team.  Nurses use their education and clinical skills to care for patients.  Doctors write orders.  The pharmacists, nurses, physical therapists, nutritionists all have the ability and responsibility to ask about them.  The nurse is with the patient in the hospital more than anyone else.  The doctor isn't the person who knows how to use the IV pump on the MRI machine...these attitudes are exhausting.  May you never need medical care.  [/quote]

yes it is a team! Any physician knows this. You cannot survive residency without working as team with all of the above. I never considered my nurses subservient, they were more like saviors especially as an intern. They know when to get social work and nutrition involved, they alert the doctors at the first sign of a problem. Our attendings would ask the nurses how the interns and residents were doing as far as managing the workload and timely orders, attitude, answering pages immediately and all[/quote]
