Reality is that there is "nursing" model is just a stupid catch phrase that nurses use to try and claim that they provide "different" and "better" care than doctors.
Its used as a ploy to increase nurses scope of practice. They try to claim that doctors have no say over what they do because they operate under a "nursing" model whereas doctors are on a "medical" model.
Its all a bunch of BS pandering and propaganda.

As an outsider, I don't quite comphrehend the Doc vs Nurses battle. I always asummed that it was medical team that was working together. Sort of a technician working in conjunction with an engineer. Or in perhaps another naive way I thought that nurses monitored/assessed patient health and Doc's worked on diagnosis and treatment.
So with that bieng said what is the differnce between the two models?
