   Even if you are employed by a doctor, via his/her office in private practice, there are a lot of doctors that will not pay a nurse properly, sometimes its better to be employed by a medical facility.

4. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   michaelarose replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   I brought this up at work as well, with about six nurses at an in-service. Before I could even finish the question, all six said yes! Four of the six had been on the job 15 yrs or more! The stories were hair-raising. One of the older nurses told how ...

5. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   Just be cool and remember, there is never a reason for abusive behavior. Nursing can be a lot like high school if you let it. Just have a positive attitude and be kind even to less than stellar people and you should be okay.

6. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   michaelarose replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   I'm willing to bet its a small group in comparison to the entire profession, but still... some of the things that can be done to harass a nurse can be downright nasty. I remember once where I live a group of day nurses at a certain facility felt that...

8. what do nurses hate about doctors?

   michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

   I know this might sound crazy, but I think a lot of a doctor's attitude hinges on just what kind of doctor; ie a cardiologist, or brain surgeon, or vascular surgeon-I don't know about anybody else, but in my neck of the woods, these guys can be bad n...

9. what do nurses hate about doctors?

   michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

   I feel this is very dangerous, and I would also like to add that I've had residents admit that if OSHA and Joint Commission had correct records on how many hours residents actually work.... oh wee. I don't know how true this is, but it makes me wonde...

    michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    I love this too! There are doctors that will collect a group of nurses to teach right along with their residents... I think this is very nice and thoughtful.

11. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    I asked my dad about yelled at by doctors, he's a nurse as well, and he blatantly said that MDs are less likely to lose their mind when dealing with a male nurse. I've noticed there is a lot of truth to this statement.

12. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    michaelarose replied to Brian's topic in Relations

    Personally when I first started out, I was too scared not to listen to the experienced nurses. I just didn't want to hurt anyone. The first time I had to fill out an incident report, I couldn't keep my hands from shaking! My patient had fallen in the...

13. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Now this is always something that has mystified me, the patient is the one that hires the doctor, ergo the doctor shouldn't intimidate the patient. I also don't think patients feel empowered to dismiss a doctor if the relationship between patient and...

    michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think doctors realize how true this is, nursing alone has concepts that a lot of people don't understand.

15. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    michaelarose replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Better yet, doctors that want you to take a verbal order, while they are standing right next to you. I just calmly hand them the chart and walk away. That bull crap about being too busy to write an order irks me beyond belief. Doctors need to learn ...
