I'm a nurse the doctor was giving a psych med to a pregnant girl that can cause serious damage to the baby I consulted with the charge nurse and pharmacy about it before I called the md and they all agreed that we news to ask the doctor about it coz she dis that too before and when she was asked by another nurse about it she immediately d/cd it..
hello guys just wanted to vent out and hear your opinions as well.. so a doctor at work prescribed a med that what I think based on my judgement and what I have learned from school is not right for the patient.. so I called the doctor told that doctor the condition of the patient and asked if she would still want us to give the patient the medication.. she got all mad and started to use words like "who is the doctor here!?!" she imediatley called the admin whose buddy buddy with her told her I don't know what because the next thing I know that that mean lady who has nothing to do with nursing btw just showed up in the station all mad saying that the doctor called her and that we have no right to question any orders that the doctors make... No matter what it is.. I so not agree with that.. because I am a patient's advocate and I will do what is best for my patient.. the doctor never spoke with the head boss of the nurses she went and ranted on to that admin lady who keeps on poking her nose to places where it doesn't belong.. she doesn't know crap that's all I have to say..
