Ron, I can't believe it took you 10 years to be called a nurse! I've been called by the wrong title so many times since I started working in the SNF and hospital that I just smile and correct people. Usually explaining what it is we do in the process. I've been called a doctor, nurse, therapist and "there's a girl here to do something with me." Especially since myself and other members of the rehab team will often do a cleanup or bedding change if the pt's condition at the time we walk in warrants it. I'd rather leave a patient clean, dry and happy than waiting for someone to do something that I can do at the time. And many times the mobility, etc. is thearpeutic. (Okay. Off my soapbox now.)
