Just a question... How many NPs have been excluded from company parties that Docs are invited to? I would certainly hope not many. Do you get included in company meetings? This still boggles my mind considering that NPs bring in quite a lot of revenue for practices and have very high patient satisfaction scores.
Are you included in your company or do you feel like your input makes no difference?
I've heard various responses from full involvement to none. Where do you land in the spectrum? Do you feel like it matters? How would you go about changing the perceptions?
I used to be the Lead nurse for a very large worldwide nursing and health care company. I was told nurses are not invited as only doctors and admin staff are invited as per the norm. There still appears to be a clear division between our medical bretheren and nurses.
ReplyDeleteI find it very disheartening. I hope to break the barriers.
