A conversation about mutual respect among healthcare team members. Which include the provider (MD, DO, NP, PA-C, etc.), nurse, therapist, case manager, etc.

As a nurse we’ve experienced and heard too many horror stories of providers “losing their shit” when things don’t go the way they should. Whether justified or not, the child-like schoolyard antics are unacceptable.

In my short time in this profession, I’ve seen these outbursts emotionally cripple a Nurse. They break down in tears.

This horrible behavior should never be allowed or tolerated, and secondly we nurses need to have the strength and confidence to hold “our shift together”.

I feel that 'growing a thick set of skin' is simply learning to not be over-sensitive. Not to allow  a communication barrier to affect you personally. And not to allow someone’s bad behavior influence your own.
