I agree with you 100%. Thank you for your thoughtful response. This is a slippery slope. Are you familiar with the case of the Vanderbilt Nurse? Not exactly the same, but it is an example of holding the nurse accountable in a new way. I also would like to think that nurses aren't the bad guys. I'm an RN, but I don't work in patient care, and I'm very glad about that. Very glad.

That is the story about the Vanderbilt nurse. She made a fatal medication error and lost her license, which seems appropriate. She is, or was, also being prosecuted for manslaughter, which is terrifying in a couple of different ways.
I'm not in a patient care role, and I'm not supervising anyone, so I'm only responsible for me! Yay!
I'm glad you can take the time to engage in your work environment. People need contact and engagement.
To your earlier statement - as an RN, I have absolutely challenged MD if I know what they are doing is wrong. Do you know how silly residents can be? I've gone up the ladder on behalf of my patient if I think the doctor is wrong. The nurse's duty is to the patient, at all times, not to the doctor.
