I'm currently watching the show. The group of murses sitting around bashing residents is horrifying.
It continually amazes me how little some nurses buy into the model of the teaching hospital. They view residents as a nuisance, and would rather mock them than help them along.
I don't think it's horrifying. They're blowing off steam on vacation with their colleagues. As if residents never bitch and moan about the "stupid nurses" they have to work with, etc? Everyone does it, no matter what profession/field they're in!
Believe it or not , residents can behave like pricks towards staff they think are "beneath" them, whether they mean to or not is a different story.
I know I've done it as part of ancillary hospital staff. I don't care how stressed you are, there's no excuse, imho, to insult somebody to that degree ("You're just a nurse"). Being a resident doesn't give you carte blanche to behave like a jerk, sorry.
