Question Re: What's your beef??? Save your sanity!

My big beef is a nurse manager who has never spent a single shift of her career working on the floor. Then tries to tell floor staff how to take care of patients. This causes a lot of problems in psych because patients often engage in staff splitting.

Peace

Re: What's your beef??? Save your sanity!

It bothers me when in the process of advocating for the patient, the nurse frequently ends up functioning as a conduit between the PCP and consultant physicians. Too often physicians don't read each other's notes, current medications or test results calling on the nurse to interface with each physycian, present the case and current ROS, the indication for the consult and oversee any new orders to be sure there are no conflicts or replications. If a consult is indicated and it doesn't occur to the attending to order it, often the nurse has to lobby for it. So, is the physician really in charge of patient care?
