Worked on all floors of hospitals many hospitals in past and found that a majority of nurses worked on floors that had interests in and unless overworked which is the most common on medical floors the care given could differ from day to day based on the seriousness of the conditions of the patients and the amount of staff to do the work. As for medical vs physical. My Mother died a horrible death at age 48 of Addison's disease and I would never wish this on my worst enemy. Her saying was if you lose your health you have lost everything which she did. Been a patient in psych also but long time ago when you could go in for med changes. I've worked there also and most not all of the staff loved what we did and I feel we did a good job. If a staff member was sent to that floor they had kind of an attitude as they didn't want to be there but then the psych RN's had attitudes if sent to medical floors as didn't have the skills necessary to deliver care required. It's a mess out there now. Phillipa
