When Doctors, Nurses, And Systems Collide Over Autonomy And Accountability
Manage episode 522019489 series 3662642
We tackle three flashpoints in healthcare: the power struggle over nursing’s professional status and autonomy, the road-birth after a disputed OB discharge and what accountability should look like, and a hospital air-quality scare that pits staff safety against “normal” test results. We invite physicians, nurses, and parents to weigh in with personal experiences and practical fixes that prevent harm before policies catch up.
• nursing’s professional status debate and scope implications
• alleged physician lobbying against APRN and CRNA autonomy
• roadside birth after discharge and disciplinary actions
• bias, listening, and safety in maternity triage
• community feedback from physicians and nurses
• Nurse Jeffrey’s pivot, money, and meaning of “being a nurse”
• entrepreneurship as a path to reduce burnout
• Alaska hospital air-quality complaints and investigations
• transparency, testing limits, and interim safety steps
