Also I think some of the problem of different areas not getting along might occur because as a patient moves from ICU to the floor or ER to telemetry, or whatever, there is not a fluid means of transition.<BR/>Forms of documentation change, a whole new set of orders need to reviewed and transcribed. I think it would be helpful if areas that experienced a lot of transfer back and forth had a requirement that the staff of each area had to work 2 weeks out of every 2 months in the other area. That's my 2 centsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521758043819496016.post-77528780832311939812008-10-19T18:26:00.000-04:002008-10-19T18:26:00.000-04:00My theory about why we can't all just get along go...My theory about why we can't all just get along goes something like this: every specialty area judges the performance of other specialty areas based on their own specialty (did that make sense??). I guess another way of saying this is that we all think that the way we practice nursing is the best way and we don't understand why everyone doesn't do it that way. I'm not sure what the answer to this problem is. I think that walking in the shoes of other nurses would be extremely helpful but I don't ever see that happening. I have found that the nurses who do work in 2 different areas tend to be much less judgemental! In answer to your last question about what are we all here for? I think that patient centered medical/nursing care is a thing of the past. I recently overheard a new ED nurse talking about another hospital's new emergency department. She was listing all of the ammenities-a tv in every room, private rooms, etc. She ended her observation about how wonderful this hospital's ED was by stating "and it's so big that there are tons of places you can hide from your patients!" Just one example of the prevailing mentality I've had the pleasure of witnessing amongst our newest members to the profession in recent years.travelicurnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042472028200535839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521758043819496016.post-4854500289384614262008-10-13T16:38:00.000-04:002008-10-13T16:38:00.000-04:00Your absolutely right!

Someone will always think they are better than you, works harder than you, earns more than you and so on. While there are a group of people of together there will always be B.S. The lowest in the hierarchy in a hospital is the patient. They are the most vulnerable, helpless, and disempowered. When there is discord with the medical staff it filters down onto the patients. You have empathy, and you care. That's what really matters.MEDICALBOOBOOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238357586852121228noreply@blogger.com
