		<description><![CDATA[The best thing to ever happened to me as an RN occurred I was taking care of a woman in labor. It was her second baby and she spoke Spanish, so I took her as a patient because I also spoke Spanish. I entered the room and recognized her, she looked at me with wide eyes. So did her sister. And her husband. I recognized the husband. And then they told me, You were our nurse the &#8220;last time&#8221;. But I didn’t remember. But then I did&#8230; She had a baby that had passed away from many fetal abnormalities just a year prior. She was here for delivery of her second baby which was healthy and normal. She started to tear up. So did her sister. I knew it might be awkward, so I decided to ask if she still wanted me to be her nurse because maybe she wanted a more positive experience this time around, and it would have been totally fine because I understood. She responded to me in Spanish – I do want you to be my nurse and I couldn’t go through this again without you. I said, Okay good. Perfect. So I excused myself, went into the hallway and cried. Got it together and went back in the room. We delivered a HEALTHY BABY BOY! I put that baby on her chest. I showed her his body parts. We delayed a lot of the baby measurements and medicating just because I didn’t want to take her baby away. The entire time she cried My son! My son! This is my baby! My baby! This was the most exhilarating delivery and one that I won’t ever forget. &#160; - An Anonymous Nurse from NYC]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been in the medical profession for over 20 years. I worked as a nurse&#8217;s aide then decided to become a nurse. It really is a love hate profession. I love it some days, but hate it others. I have learned over the years that you can not change people. You can suggest and tell them what you would do in a situation, but they will do what they want. People have to remember that doctors and nurses are people and they encounter a lot of different personalities and complaints. They, like the nurse are trying to assess the problems by the information you give them. So if you do not tell them, they can not connect all the information together to give you a diagnosis. No matter how embarrassing. I worked as a nurse&#8217;s aide then decided to become a nurse. It really is a love hate profession. I love it some days, but hate it others. I know we all have run into doctors or nurses who are complete idiots. You have the right to fire your doctor or tell the doctor that the nurse was not professional or that his office staff should do a better job. I feel if more people would do that the medical field may change. Of course it is how you present your complaint is how you get results. Try not to scream or make threats of law suits. Try to stay calm and present the facts. When your doctor is trying to shove you out the door stand your ground and let them know that you would like more time. Doctors and nurses are given only 15 minutes for appointments. Why I am not sure, but I feel it is financial. You have the right to fire your doctor or tell the doctor that the nurse was not professional or that his office staff should do a better job. The medical field is scrutinized all the time, but they need to talk to patients without using too many technical medical terms, so the patient can easily understand. I went to a doctor who literally threw my discharge papers from the door. I was so angry and upset. I asked for the supervisor and received the telephone number for the person who was over the clinic. She was very personable and actually listened to me about how I was treated during my office visit. I really don&#8217;t know if anything was said to this doctor, but I continue to go to the same facility and let whoever I see that this doctor will never take care of me. I tell them please let him know that I hope he or his family will never have to see a doctor like him. I trust that the word has gotten back to him. So please remember when you have to go to the doctor, give all your complaints to the nurse because she is passing it on to the doctor. If you don&#8217;t like your doctor then fire him or her. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>
