I mean, is there a good way to tell if the general population of a hospital are somewhat nice and respectful of nurses? Small towns, cities, suburbs, rural populations, etc? Will you please share your experiences?
In my experience most people are respectful of nurses. Also the ones that are rude usually have psych problems or on drugs/etoh or anger issues. The problem is even though the bad ones are a minority they stand out in your mind. I'm firm and don't let people mistreat me.
