Hi everbody,
I'm a third year medical student who will be going out on clinical rotations soon. I have a question to ask all you nurses out there. How should I act as a third year medical student as a member of the health care team. More specifically, how should I act around nurses. I know this sounds like a ridiculous question. Nonetheless, I'm serious. I realize that coming out of two years of med school that I know absolutely nothing about the everday practice of medicine. Therefore, I realize that experienced nurses, techs, aides and so forth will be invaluable sources of learning and advice. Again, I know this question sounds like a joke...I'm serious...I've heard stories of medical students coming in with attitudes and acting like jerks...I'm definitely not one of them and would appreciate any input..thanks
