Why are we as educated individuals expected to allow the docs to treat us like we are dirt. I am so sick of it. One of the ones at my facility is very jeuvenille and tacky--prejudiced--just oooh he makes me so mad. He doesn't listen to you--and I got sick of trying to be polite and try to converse with the a$$hole-so I decided to just not talk to him unless it was necessary. I wasn't rude-mind you, I just didn't have anything to say and I didn't have any of his patients. He went to my DON and told her that I was ignoring him. WAAAA! I couldn't believe it when she approached me about it. What does he want? When I talk to him he treats me like an idiot--and says very inappropriate things--I guess I am just paid to put up with it. I am so frustrated AAARRGHH!

Thanks--I really needed to blow off some major steam!!
People will do what you allow them to do. What makes me mad is that there is always one nurse that bows down to a doctor and he or she think all nurses do that. When you are the one who doesn't you are labeled hard to work with or a trouble maker when all you were doing is demanding respect. Personally, I see how nurses treat one another but that goes without saying. I refuse to take abuse from a MD or anyone. I am a human being that so happen to be woman and I expect to be treated with respect if they want it in return.
I also notice that some MD's will try you to see what kind of nurse you are. When they realize you don't take crap they usually back off and prey on nonconfrontational individuals.....which to me is a bad move because they may have something for them in long run.
