    The big bosses aren’t medical staff, they’re calling is not patient care, it’s profit.

    What op is experiencing is delusion in the system and burnout.

    OP is right. Document, cya, and move on.

    All these downvotes and replies seem to be from people who want to think a hospital is altruistic place of healing. Unfortunately it’s an end stage capitalism hellscape that chews up and spits out most people who give a damn.

    This reply seems like management/ hr reply… just as salty as op.

    It’s so perfectly fine to respect someone’s autonomy there is a form they can sign- refusal of care. Explain the situation, sign form or take meds. Or, here’s another form- and there is the door. Forcing anything on a competent adult is battery I believe, no matter how beneficial.

    Like OP said, chart and move on.

    People are weird and react weird to some people. Ask another nurse to try, or ask to swap patients.

    Also, sometimes nurses do know better. They see the patient as a whole, and a lot more than the doctor.

    Also x2, managers are there mostly in a non medical (and non union) capacity, but to make sure the hospital runs as profitably as possible.
