This resident physician rants on nurses

He’s not doing himself any favors here, hence his anonymous rant:

It seems to me that many nurses enter the profession almost as an afterthought rather than a vocation. Consequently, the NHS nurses I work with often do not have the common sense required to do their jobs effectively and safely, or they simply don’t care enough.

Nurses who cannot tell the difference between a coronary episode and patients feeling ‘a bit unwell’ double the doctors’ workload and risk the lives of patients.

And nurses who don’t think for themselves and constantly call the doctor mean that hours can be wasted tending to situations that should be sorted out by the nurses.
