I havent been a nurse for long ( a year and a half) so I have only worked in ER. I have noticed when I give report to ICU they often times speak "down" to us constantly asking why didnt you do this? Why that? why didnt the dr. do this? Its like they're trying to guilt me all the time...
Some of the questions I can answer but often times I just say "the dr. is aware and no further orders were given"
I had a RN get ****** last night because we didnt start a central line on a pt who was supposed to get an insulin drip!??? I DON'T PUT IN CENTRAL LINES!!!
Does anyone else have similiar issues? Also, I think its funny how the male ICU nurses NEVER give me crap when reporting...its always pleasant, short and simple. :)
