'Us and Them' mentality

I'm concerned with the 'us and them' mentality between the wards and emergency at my hospital. I'm just wondering if it's just me or does it happen in other areas? It feels like I am always inconvienincing them when I take a pt up. We get icy reception and the poor pt often feels like they shouldn't be there. I feel really embarrassed to be there. Don't they realise we are all there for the same reason, and we are all busy. We should be supporting each other. Or is it just me?

    I worked the floor before ER. It messed me up because on the floor I had a set plan and knew how long most things should take and a schedule. When you got the call for an admit, it threw a huge wrench into the mix and messed up your flow and were always playing catch up. I knew that was the nature of it though. The pt has to go somewhere. Now I love taking pts up when the nurses are nice to me on the phone when giving report. I will gladly take them up myself, get them to the new bed, hook them up whatever. It shouldnt be an us vs them, help each other out.
