What to do when a nurse won't stop calling you a student??
So I'm an emergency med intern three weeks into my OB block. It hasn't been a bad month so far, I'm having a good time (as good as you can on L&D as a non obgyn intern) and everyone is chill except this one nurse that keeps referring to me as a medical student.
Obviously, the first time I didn't care because I'm new and not a obgyn resident so whatever but I've worked with her four times and she keeps doing it. I message her every morning I have one of her patients saying like "hey i'm the off-service resident taking care of the patient in room x", I write my name down on the white board in the patients room as Dr. mccartneys, and I've straight up like chatted to her and told her I'm a resident? And its not like she's a new nurse or anything, she's been on L&D for like 5 years.
Today is the fourth time it's happened. I walk into the patients room this morning, after messaging her, and after working with her three times before, and straight up telling her multiple times i'm the intern/resident, and she looks at me then turns to the patient and says "oh perfect, here's the medical student!"
