I've been the patient and I loved it. Once they found out that I was an RN they passed it on to all the staff and I received great care! Truly makes a difference. But, then again, I was a very considerate and appreciative patient.
I think Dear Abbey put in print what a lot of people actually think. However, I do believe the RN should have communicated what she was going to do and no expose the patient any more than necessary.
