Dear Doctor....

I am not your maid or servant. If you are rude or disrespectful to me, I probably won't go out of my way and miss my breaks to help you out next time. It isn't my problem your patient needs a monitored bed you filled with another patient. I really don't care what patients get admitted to my beds... as long as I have patients.

And be careful.... your snobby attitude towards nurses is rubbing off on your students.

Dear Mini-Doctor....

Just because your Senior Resident feels she can treat us like gum on her shoes doesn't mean you can. Trust me. We are not trying to make your life hard. We are simply trying to keep the patients safe and cover our own asses... which by association will help you cover yours.

And remember.... you might want to keep us on you good side.... cause karma is a bitch.
