Nursing on the Internet: An Analysis of Doctor-Nurse Tensions
This six-page undergraduate paper examines Internet sources relating to the issue of doctor-nurse tensions and concludes that the working relationships between physicians and nurses have degenerated in many hospitals and clinics. Website research confirms that instead of being members of a unified health care team who treat with one another with mutual professional respect, some nurses and doctors have become bitter antagonists. This issue is important to nursing because it generates tensions within the health care community and can serve to reduce the quality of health care patients deserve.
