On the subject of the nurse practioner, it's good that she likes you, but she's not a nice person. Her comments are hostile and meant to send the other nurses a message. She's passive-agressive.

I get the impression that when they look at me, they only see the particular organs that they deal with... not my face. For some reason, it seems a larger percentage of “specialists” are impersonal.

It's good that others see that in you. Even if your fellow nurses have to be reminded sometimes of what they need to do. Did you sell your house? I didn't know your husband was a nurse too. Did I read that right? How cool. Sorry to hear about your little guy. I use to work for a doctor like your new urologist-I didn't stay long. I couldn't handle is bedside manner so well in the office. It was all I could do to go to work everyday. I'll be thinking and praying for good news for y'all. Keep your chin up! You’re a good nurse May. It’s good that others see that in you.

As far as N's mom, you deserve the credit and I hope you hear kudos from a fellow staff member. You have some good thoughts concerning health care and i appreciate reading them!

One trick I do to Drs is to turn the table with a comment like "So if this was your son, you'd...?" Sometimes I think Drs just see files and not someone's son/daughter. I just spent a week in the PEDS floor w/13 mo son w/RSV. We had perhaps 7 diff nurses in that time - and only two that I really liked...and really, they didn't do any more/less than anyone else - we just clicked. Son & I were easy keepers (and in isolation too) and I did all of his care I could. I didn't bother the nurses and I stayed by his side 24/7. I was respectful and always said thank you to his nurses for every thing they did. And you know? I think that because I read a lot of nursing blogs I was even more cognizant of being appreciative and recognizing nurses' efforts/duties. Thanks for blogging and sharing.

You obviously are an awesome nurse and the NP knows it. If the others are slighted, maybe they will start going the extra mile. You can tell who are "the natural nursing angels" when they walk into the room. I hope your son doesn't need surgery. How scary! Take the credit where it’s due.

And that is you give the smile and hello and acknowledgment that the patient you are caring for is a human being, not just an annoying medical condition taking up precious time on the daily schedule. Most often that goes further than all the medical expertise in the world. And it is becoming all too rare in our medical world in the midst of crisis. Hope all turns out well for your little one. You are right. Using four fingers in the air to indicate " " is not comforting when the word worse is used. Good luck also on the packing and moving thing - what a lot of work. I do not envy you!
