hi i don't think so. but i am a nurse only for 6 yrs and mostly worked in small hospitals were i knew all the drs well. none of them ever mistreated me, but i did saw them getting frustrated at other nurses. in those cases i would be too. i think if you know what u are doing no one will mess with u. and when i don't know some thing i tell them (dr or pt) that i don't know , let me look it up. and i get back to them. if drs are called for some emergency and they didn't acted right on phone i make sure i tell them what i think of them... we have a good relationship, i love them all. let me tell u nursing is fun... u will find urself talking about poop, vomit, wounds, on ur lunch while eating.... all the things that disguise u now will sound soo funny. u will have good days and bad days but in the end its rewarding... goodluck

hi there i just took the GAP test to get into the RN prog. it wasn't too bad i scored 77% which is their excellent score. there were 10 section of 10 questions each, i studied the GAP study guide. almost 50% of the questions were from maternity, 10% peds, 2-3 questions on pharmacology, a few psyh. questions. so if some one is planning on taking this test i highly recommend this book the test is online on the same website too and it will give the results in a few panicking min. goodluck
