+1. Definitely like them more than drs.

Nurses are awesome. It's the doctors that can be self important and negligent pricks.

Yes.

Seriously? Someone needs to remember to call you ms or mr while trying to save your life..w

I can't imagine why anyone would hate the entire profession. Perhaps the rude comments to which OP refers were about specific nurses and specific problems.

Not all nurses are good, just like not all plumbers are good. The restaffing of hospitals for cost reasons in current years with cheaper alternatives than full RNs has also resulted in less training among the people any given patient may come into contact with and fewer well-meaning and highly skilled people trying to do more things. Nonetheless, I have had some great nurses. The few times I have been concerned about my care, for example when I was having surgery and could not look out for myself, I brought my own nurse - my mom.

I love nurses, as do most people that I know. Please don't take a few rude comments on this forum as a mainstream view.

Me too, and please don't call me "mrs x". I'm not old yet.

What do you want to be called? "Honey"?

As someone who's had two major surgeries in the last two years, I'm extremely grateful to nurses who took care of me. Well, some were better than the others, but it's a tough job, and people doing it deserve a lot of credit.

We usually don't, usually ask what you prefer to be called. However, with your attitude we usually call you asshole behind your back.

I don't hate nurses. Tend to like them more than doctors. Very friendly and warm, specially with kids.

I have noticed a few nasty comments about nurses on here. Why do you all hate nurses? Why don't you respect their education?
