As a man, I've always wondered about the insecurities that would make a man "afraid" to look women in the eye when talking to them. I've worked in the past with men of a certain religion and it was the same thing--no eye contact with women. Dudes, man-up!! And women, celebrate the power you must have when men can't handle you looking them in the eye!

I've been working as a nurse for 7 months now (new grad). Different docs have different "hot button" issues: BP, Hct, amount of drainage/shift, foley output, etc. I'm slowly getting a feel for what the different docs want (thank goodness we don't have a large number of them) and the care coordinator gave me the "inside scoop" on which ones to watch out for when I started. I've been yelled at several times. I think it's all about gaining experience with your docs, and until you know all their quirks expect to get reported or yelled at. I'm very grateful to the docs who have patiently put up with my learning curve.
