Nurses are UNBELIEVABLY preoccupied with status and everyone's place in the hospital hierarchy. Basically they do what they're told for a living. The smart ones either
ReplyDeletechafe and become bitter, or move into management. Those left are a group of petty, angry women who take any pretext ("bad attitude") to exert some authority over
medical students. It's sad and pathetic but very common. I've been through it and, for what its worth I recommend not sinking to their petty level since they are
so much more familiar with hospital policies, personnel and politics they're almost sure to win and remember not to allow nurses to demean your medical students
and residents when you become staff. By the way, a good rule-of-thumb for your entire clerkship and residency is NEVER complain. Focus on learning what you need to
learn and doing what's best for the patient and you might be surprised at how even the crustiest of nurses soften up.
