Re: Brain damaged baby case (long)From: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Wed Mar 29 20:56:56 2006
When my wife was in nursing school, she was warned that "nurses eat their own." She has seen evidence of that on a regular basis, ever since then. Ronald E. Ainsworth, MD, FACOG -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of fran wilson Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 4:50 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Brain damaged baby case (long) In my experience, that is very true. Nurses not only go after other nurses, but also nurse midwives. Of course, this is a generalization, but it really has been the trend in the hospitals where I have practiced both as a nurse and a nurse midwife.

Your comments reinforce the observation of many nurses that docs stick together and stick up for each other (I know, the example is about incompetent even the other docs want to get remedial treatment or license revoked, but I think the principle applies), whereas nurses will use gossip, lying, maliciousness and not liking somebody to get a nurse written up, fired, or license suspended. Nurses and management are very willing to throw the book at nurses for any excuse, it seems. There are names for this: nurses eat their young, oppressed group behavior, bullying in the workplace, &c. Very sad. I've liked how docs stick together, in contrast, although of course this tendency can be counterproductive and dangerous for pt safety, as with the examples given. I envy how female MDs stick together and help each other. Grace

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
