The great debate continues! We explore  NPs, their role in healthcare, and the fight for independent practice. We were lucky enough to have 3 NPs and 3 MDs joining the discussion to discuss this topic. It was important that we not only show the difference of opinions, but also NP/MDs from different specialties. ⁣

This one is a sensitive one. Traditionally the RNMD relationship was shaped by gender roles. The MD being  powerful and the RN subservient. Healthcare is changing, gender roles apply less and less. Nursing has forged a new path, with it's own management and has become a colleague to the MD, rather than an assistant. There are also more males entering nursing. This is necessary, and long overdue. At the same time, there are more and more females entering medicine. While we all try to find our place, it can be tough to navigate. Nurse bullying does not just apply to other nurses, it can apply to doctors, especially female ones where nursing is less familiar with these interactions.

This episode is in no way an attack on nursing. RNMD loves nursing, however we weren't even aware of this problem until MANY MDs wrote in saying they've seen female nurses treat female MDs differently than their male counterpart. It's important to acknowledge the things we could all do better to support women in nursing AND medicine. The great thing about this podcast is that we are able to look at all sides of the issues, not just the ones that we want to see. Abby explains that she thinks she's been a part of the problem, rather than the solution at some points in her career, and ways we can all work on our unconscious bias.

Have you seen the Residency subreddit thread? It's wild. Abby goes on a small rant about the toxic relationships between doctors and nurses and then invites the MDs from the Reddit Residency thread to join the podcast for a discussion about the future of nursing, specifically NPs.

In this episode we discuss the discrepancy between RNs & MDs in how they view care. Doctors are generally told the day team should manage the bulk of care, while RNs are told the hospital is a 24/7 business. This causes frustration by both parties.

Today it was like a tiny earthquake hit RNMD headquarters. We had TWO people write us with issues they had at work! After we got out of the doorframe of our living room, we explored issues an MD had in a code with an RN who was delaying care. AND an RN who had a gut feeling the resident was wrong about an insulin drip. This is a fast one! Let us know if you like this format/topic!

Ok, y'all... Dr. Steven Bradley and Abby get real on this one about IG culture and pandering to RNs & MDs. This is literally why this project exists. We are so grateful to Dr. Bradley for being candid about his experiences.
