Concerning this ward round argument, part of our responsibilities as nurses is to participate in ward rounds. We attend not only to learn and improve our knowledge but also to advocate for our patients and contribute meaningfully to their care.
However, while discussing this topic, we should also acknowledge why some nurses choose to step back during ward rounds. Too often, nurses are reduced to running errands, wheeling the trolley behind doctors like bellboys, being asked to “pass me the continuation sheet,” or being spoken to in the most condescending manner.
Many of us, especially the younger generation of nurses, believe we should be actively involved in discussions about our patients’ treatment. After all, the primary purpose of ward rounds is patient care, and nurses are an essential part of that team. We do not want to be treated as though we know nothing or are only there to carry out instructions without understanding the plan of care.
Unfortunately, because some of us refuse to silently accept this treatment, we are often labeled as rude or lazy.
That said, this is certainly not true of all doctors. I have had the privilege of working with many who are respectful, collaborative, and value nurses’ contributions, just as I have encountered others who do not.

Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.
