10. Do drs really look down on nurses?

    pa0723 replied to lmf2006's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen more med mistakes than I ever thought possible. Nurses cover for other nurses and so do the doc's. I'm getting the message that it is alright to make mistakes if you do do it politely. Didn't anyone else ever get this impression. I ha...
