I was a nurse for 15 years, we have become critical thinkers and we do NOT follow orders as we are the ones that give the feedback to the doctors for them to sign their John Henry so we can do the job. Hospital protocals, we follow yes, but we discuss treatment with doctors and as a team, write the care plan. We know what we are dealing with. The last 20-25 years nurses have taken over treatments and recoveries. Times have changed where most people do not know about. We teach the "doctor" interns, they know shit when they come in, except to strut their egos. But like I said not all of them.
