Scope of practice

While I would never do this on do this on the street, as a patient I have been stepping out of my role as a patient. I have been taking an aggressive approach to care for myself.

I am on the surgical floor for observation.

With all nurses being so busy, I have been making my bed, reseting my IV pump, holding out on demanding my medication.

I don't know if it's the field I work in or what. I can't let others just take care of me.
