Am I the only sad person who had read this?? interesting to note that nurses are to get referral powers and authority to order stuff like X-rays...........have they told the Doc's yet? gives us 10 key roles including performing minor surger. we live in interesting times...............

I agree nurses do care and then provide what a patient needs in discussion with the patient as to what the patient may want. Nurses do not rely on a medical diagnosis, they rely on discussion with the patient to find out what is best for the patient without any need to know what the medical diagnosis is.
