You should have seen the look on the nurse's face...you would have thought she just started sucking on a sour persimmon!


That made me laugh. I worked in health care for a few years, and I have been to doctors like everyone else. There are a small percentage of nurses (they seem to often be RN's (this doesn't mean all RN's just some) so we used to refer to it as the RN mentality) who were certain they were right, and only thier way was right. They would ignore everyone under them, and forge ahead, then when they were chastised by a higher up they would pout or sulk and get huffy

The same with when you have a nurse give you a leacture and you respond with a very education statement starting "Really? What I was told in the past..." Most nurses will listen and take interest, some will get flustered and refuse to talk to you, while others will just denounce you as wrong and stomp out of the roo
