This happened on my nursing unit. Two doctors were conversing in the NURSING lounge. As nurses came in to have their lunch breaks, they were being asked by the doctors to give them some privacy. I don't know the exact wordings : give us a few minutes, give us some privacy, excuse us for a few minutes, etc... How do you response to this? How would the doctors feel if we come in their lounges to have some private conversation! I know that they were probably discussing some sensitive case, but they should do it in their lounge. Space is tight on this unit. Most of us have to computerized chart in hall or in locker room (off the hall). I think it's pathetic that upper management always say that they value nurses but does not support us! Thanks for letting me vent.
