I was asked about this, my first thought was “of course not.” We don’t get respect from physicians. We don’t get respect from administration. And worst of all, we don’t get respect from each other. Somehow this is true.
When it comes to patients and families it is hit or miss. Some go out of their way to show appreciation for all the hard work and compassion we exhibit. While others give praise and thanks to their physician that they only saw for a handful of minutes during their stay, while we were at the bedside the entire time.
I really feel that the recognition needs to come from within. We need to celebrate each others accomplishments. When a fellow nurse does something above and beyond, take the time to tell them that they did a great job.
