Good morning everyone. Need some input. We are starting a committee at our hospital.......nurses only..........for dealing with rude doctors and the way they treat us.............which isn't professional. The committee will be formed with nurses on different floors and shifts. We had a problem with a doctor a couple weeks ago who was very rude and said he was "punishing the nurses", and said it in front of a family member of a patient. Can you believe this??? Went to the head honcho that is responsible for the doctors and told him what had happened. He about fell off his chair when we told him what had happened. It was his suggestion that we form this committee. As you all know, we all have to work as a team, INCLUDING the doctors. We decided not to write up incident reports, as they usually go by the wayside. Our director was in full agreement of what we are going to do.
My question is, do any of you have a committee for dealing with rude doctors? If so, please let me know what you have done and how it is going.
