Conflicts w. Med Lab Technologists

Hi everyone,

I'm curious to know if there are departments or staff members of the hospital that nurses usually butt heads with? I've been speaking to a Medical Technologist and she says her department does not get along with nurses at all, and compared it to how cliques in high school act towards each other. She used some choice words to describe the nurses in the hospital she works in (this included "snarky", "manipulative" and "catty")

And wouldn't you know it, I came upon a group on Facebook (I know, I'm such a loser lol) where med lab techs were just bashing nurses! They were being so ignorant, I can't believe some of the things they were saying about them!

Anyway, I'm just curious to know, why so much conflict between med lab techs and nurses? Or is it just a Toronto thing?

As a Medical Lab Tech I don't really know why nurses and lab don't always get along. Where I use to work before I started travel work I got along fine with the nurses I worked with. I think maybe sometimes it could be from the lack of respect shown to us by SOME nurses and I know it goes both ways. I also think that SOME nurses and other staff dont really realize everything that we do. I wish that everyone would realize that we all need each other and that we need to work together and not fight with each other. We are all an important part of the medical team. I get along with the nurses I work with now just fine.
