11. Issues in Nursing
Something I see as an issue in the nursing field is the lack of respect! Me as a person I feel everyone deserves respect until they have given you a reason not to respect them. So when it comes to a career I am getting into I find it horrible that people don't give the nurses more respect then they are given, this is coming from patients, doctors even co workers! If your a nurse caring for patients to get them better I think they deserve slot of credit, but patients look at nurses differently because they are not doctors, and doctors look at nurses like they have no knowledge because they are not as high up as they are, when in reality nurses have to learn so much almost as much as a doctor I think !

I would have to agree with you. Many nurses are not given the respect that they deserve. A majority of patients are appreciative for the help they are given. But there is also the percentage that use the healthcare system for alternative reasons. When denied what they want, these individuals go above and beyond to belittle the liaisons of the doctor. Now that the healthcare system focusing so much on customer service it puts an unneeded burden upon nurses, particularly when dealing with these types of patients.
ReplyDeleteI think we all se this day in and day out in hospitals but we can't generalize not all patients are disrrespectfull nor are all doctors. I think it has a lot to do with personality rather than level of education but yes definetely an issue that hurts the nursing profession.
ReplyDeleteHaving worked in a hospital, I have seen this issue countless times and it is not pretty. Simply put, many nurses suffer huge amounts of undue stress at work, which is one of the many reasons that I will never join that field. To those that desire it: God bless you brave and foolish souls.
