2. How Would You Deal With a Rude Doctor?
Review sample answers to the nurse interview question "How would you deal with a doctor who was
rude and demeaning to you?“
I have been very lucky that I have had the good fortune to work with doctors who were always
professional in their interactions with me. If I were to have a doctor treat me badly, I would bring the
question to my supervisor right away. If the doctor was displeased with me in some way, I would want
to find out so I could take action to rectify the situation.
3. Once when I was working in a rehabilitation facility, I had the experience of a doctor going
to my supervisor, and asking that I be taken off a particular patient’s case. I asked my
supervisor if I could discuss this directly with the doctor, because I wanted to know
from her what was wrong. I asked the doctor if there was something in my care of the
patient that she felt needed discussion improvement. It turned out that there had
been a miscommunication about scheduling, and the doctor wanted the patient to
have continuity in his nursing care. Once I understood that it wasn’t personal, I was
relieved, and the doctor and I went on to work well together for several years.
If it were a one time occurrence, I would figure that she was just having a bad day. There
was one doctor in the last hospital where I worked though, who was always rude to
the nurses, in fact, to most of the hospital staff. I talked to my supervisor about it, and
he let me know that it wasn’t just me, that this doctor was going through some
personal difficulties which were affecting her ability to perform at work. As it turned
out, the doctor was able to take a leave, and when she returned, she was much
easier to get along with.
4. There was one doctor in a medical group where I
worked for several years who always seemed to
go out of his way to be rude to me. He wasn’t
really kind to the other nurses, but I felt like he
was particularly unpleasant to me. I brought the
issue to my supervisor, who tried to find out if the
doctor felt that I wasn’t doing my job. Everyone
was happy with my job performance, so my
supervisor just re-assigned me to work more
often with the other doctors.
