Here's an article that is on the AANA site today.

Public Says No to low-level providers

As far as waitresses and hotels, I think that is how the management is trying to protray their hospitals more and more nowadays. As a lay person seeing these commericals for the hospitals, you just know they are trying to make it seem more like vacation than seeking medical treatment for some ailement. I am sure many of you also have seen this.

WE should not take shit from anyone but we as nurses should also treat other health care workers with respect, especially if want to be respected.

This is such a good point. I find that the best hopsitals are where everyone treats everyone else with respect-- whether they are nurses, physicians, nursing assistants, techs, therapists, etc.

Here's something I was thinking about while reading the ASA's article - what affect does the term "Nurse Anesthetist" have on the general public's perception, vs. just using the term "Anesthetist"?

What about using the term, "Nurse Anesthesiologist"?

Ooooooh, I like it! That is what we are anyway. An anesthesiologist is just someone who performs anesthesia. I can see the ASA now!
