Many doctors study nursing..what is your reaction regarding that?

I agree with the first poster stating suprise and doubt. The nursing model of care and physicians model of care are not all the similar and generally wouldn't benefit either group from a care prospective. From an empathy prospective it's probably good to walk a mile in another persons shoes.

The Nursing model is as follows:
All nursing models involve some method of assessing a patient's individual needs and implementing appropriate patient care. An essential portion of each nursing model is measurable goals in order that the process can be evaluated in order to provide better care for the patient in the future. Almost all nursing models are used to produce a document known as a care plan that is used to determine a patient's treatment by nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals and auxiliary workers. These documents are considered to be living documents 鈥?they are changed and evaluated on a daily basis as the patient's condition and abilities change.

The Medical Model is as follows:

An idealized physician's perspective, such as is taught in medical school, sees the core aspects of the process as the physician learning the patient's symptoms, concerns and values; in response the physician examines the patient, interprets the symptoms, and formulates a diagnosis to explain the symptoms and their cause to the patient and to propose a treatment. The job of a physician is similar to a human biologist: that is, to know the human frame and situation in terms of normality. Once the physician knows what is normal and can measure the patient against those norms, he or she can then determine the particular departure from the normal and the degree of departure. This is called the diagnosis.

Nurses are more needs based and physicians are more diagnosis based. Both are extremely important in the care of patients but have distinctly different jobs. While nurses are often considered inferior to physicians this is not exactly true. They are not considered peers to physicians as their education and training don't normally match up to afford them this status. Additionally physicians are so accustomed to being placed on a pedastal that many believe that their chosen field elevates them over the rest of organized society. Hence when they are addressed they are often addressed as Dr. even in social settings where holders of PhDs and lawyers are not usually addressed with a title. This results in nurses feeling inferior as they are addressed this way by the physicians they commonly interact with.

It would be interesting if many physicians actually did study nursing because it might lead to less of the previously mentioned problems.

surprise and doubt.

I see nothing to react to. Nursing is just another field in the medical profession, albeit one that is below that of the rank of doctor. Some doctors may start out studying nursing because they were not sure at the time whether they wanted to go all the way and become doctors. Others may just want to get an inside look at what some of their most valuable assistants go through on a daily basis. Either way, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Its a great profession and you learn more and more. I send nurses to the USA as my other job

Better chances of going to "Dubai" or "America" as a nurse than as a doctor.
