  1. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    okay ericsoln I read the posts and those are fair statements. Everyone needs to vent to someone in who is in a familiar position and has first hand knowledge of what goes on "behind the scenes" and not just what's in the brochure! I agree! I'm not di...
  2. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    quote] Just because I choose to not change bedpans for a living doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to respond to a post. Actually, ImAWonderer, that's exactly what it means, the website is "allnurses.com", you're not a nurse, nor a "bedpan changer"...
  3. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    You are absolutely wrong if you think that I or general public falls for as you say the smoke and mirrors of any sort of administration/management that happens in healthcare. Now that's pathetic. Policies/Issues/Concerns/DEBATE YES I SAID DEBATE conc...
  4. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    ima, if you were a nurse, you would understand what we are talking about. we are not talking about just smiling or showing common courtsey. of course we do that. (well most of us) we are talking about the fact that we are being asked to do things for...
  5. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    I'm very sorry that you are having such a hard time.......limpingaway.I can tell the frustration and hurt from your post. The healthcare field is just crazy right and is going through a lot of changes for various reasons.(some for the better.some for...
  6. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    Why is this an either or situation? Doesn't EVERY industry aside from the post office and the DMV where you come in contact with other people have an element of customer service? If the teen flipping burgers for minimum wage is expected to smile and ...
  7. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    Wow I have to say I find this thread very interesting. I am not in the medical field and have no desire to be. I must say from a patients perspective I find everyone being referred to as "nurse" when they are not is absolutely disturbing. No disrespe...

    http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/16/health/16dignity.html?_r=1&th=&emc=th&pagewanted=all Okay so I found a very intersting article along the lines of where this discussion is going. I'm not particularly a fan of the NY Times but this artic...
  9. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    Hi...... and to sandracvrn This is a quick one...perhaps Ill go through and locate the skateboard incident but now from memory...... This teen was injured and was banged up from a skateboarding injury on his legs/knees. Im sure I used the word naked ...
  10. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    I just read the great post by tbrd450.... I'm repeating myself but thats my point of why you cant let the fox guard the hen house. A doctor should not be able to just "pop in" to talk about a tv show Its to the point where the doctor doesnt care or i...
  11. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    Let me be clear.........I am not for pushing an advocate on anyone who doesnt want one.I would WELCOME just as many men to go into the field as women. Actually I think it sounds like a great opportunity since men/boys often feel their modesty concern...
  12. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    I too am LARGELY in favor of an advocate for the patient (seperate from the medical staff). Thing is I constantly hear medical professionals talk about how they are the advocate for the patient. The problem is the issue of the Fox guarding the hen ho...
  13. Where are the professionals?

    Honestly I think anytime you get a group of women together this is the the type of stuff that happens........regardlss of the industry. I am female (not a nurse) lets face it this happens all the time.
  14. Modesty Issues

    Why has this subject seen a renewal of interest? I believe the interest has always been their but perhaps their hasnt been an outlet available in a structured way to vent these concerns. When it comes to patient modesty I believe millions of people h...
  15. Modesty Issues

    Great Post CaDad I have to say that I agree that yes Doctors/nurses etc see people at their best and worst. Yet so do police officers and they should not be able to use their authority to abuse people. Social Workers see and know the best and worst b...
