Worst Driver Of The Week

so now you know basti, write legibly...

like i said abouve chantalle, i have the highest respect for nurses, and our hospitals wouldnt function without them. however to say that a doctor and nurse are very close in what they do is just untrue. there is a reason why the training for a nurse is 3 years at most and 5 years for doctors atleast.

speaking of duty of care, a nurses duty of care doesnt extend across multiple hospitals or even more than one ward like a doctor's. flipping that same coin, nurses are also not as accountable for a patient's health status and any mistakes/malpractice as their treating physician. i mean who gets sued more?

there is much more to say on this topic, but im gonna leave it there. i dont wanna get into this conversation cos it sounds too much like im blowing my own horn, which would make me a tosser.

I don't disagree with the legal accountability and malpractice lawsuits but they are still looking after human life that is in danger of falling ill or dying, that is a role and a half even if it's not on paper...doctor or nurse...and that is why I think they are underpaid for what they do. As slinky said, sometimes all that is needed is a doctor's signature. These nurses can't all be lying!

Patch Adams out!

lol @ tipping people in hospitality, didnt know anyone actually did that here in Australia.

If I am not a regular I do if its worth it... if they are awesome in the important areas, they are likely to get tipped from time to time and have me as a regular.

so all you doctors out there, please write legibly, make an effort, the nurses will love you i reckon.

@basti, its gonna be hard if you can't read your notes yeah? i don't have notes, i steal them from my coursemates 2 weeks prior to exams, HAHA.

My gf's dad is a GP, and he has by far the WORST handwriting I have ever seen. I've mentioned it a few times and he just laughs at me

Basti-I totally missed your first few posts. My set up was all wrong and now it's much easier to read.

Thank you,it's good to see people have respect for nurses, I read somewhere recently that we're more likely to cop a beating then a cop *sounded like bullsh!t really* Doctors defiantly have their place though, respect to anyone who can sit through more then3 years of Biology, it's a lot of work and they deserve the respect for it. You guys also get that status of saying your a Doctor, we don't get no respectable title. Dr Basti sounds so much cooler then Nurse Handley or Slinky Minky RN or RM (Midwife)

Alvin- Hot food leads to hot tips. As long as it's hot and I don't have to get up to re heat it, I'll tip.

Birds, Vspec & Hektic- There really needs to be more male nurses. Need more to look at in lectures A friend of mine goes to the paramedicine lectures to stare at the guys. Some of those paramedics are sexy though.

That's because Div 1's are hot Lots of gorgeous girls in my course.
