SUBREDDIT: r/AskDocs
TITLE: Need input from docs regarding questions from nursing students!
POST: So I am a nursing student working on my BSN and started my peds rotation at the PICU and NICU at a large teaching hospital.  My last assignment were two kiddos, both being overseen by the nursing staff and the Intensivist in the PICU.  The one I was interested in had suspected central DI and my nurse couldn't really answer my questions.  So, would I have been out of line asking the Dr?  The resident was slightly helpful but you could tell he didn't give a shit and had other things to do.  Just felt awkward asking the Intensivist about the clinical findings and plan of care because he had a full PICU of kids he was charting on.
TL;DR: 
Can a nursing student ask a Dr. about a patient or should I just stick to asking nursing staff?  Resident couldn't give a shit about my questions.
