Does any one else feel ,"beat up ' in the ER. It seems pt's are more there for general medical care, expect everything free such as , "can I take this blanket with me", Can I get a prescription for motrin, Can you give me a clinic referal that is near a mall so that I don't wast a taxi ride(that medicade is paying for, by-the-way, that taxi was to an infertility dr. for a 22 year old on medicade who aleady has 2 children), It seems also that pt's are more and more verbaly abusive, demanding and rude. I'm not sure if I just need a different job or, things are this frustating for other nurses. If so , maybe I need a new outlook. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I really don't want to be a bitter nurse. but it seems I'm turning in to one.:redbeathe
