Discussion Question: Distribution Of Power

    
At the beside, we routinely had “code pink’s”.  If a nurse was being hollered at by a physician, we would all leave our bedside and surround the nurse and physician.  No one would do anything, just be present starring at the physician.  This had an unbelievable amount of power as the physician would stop and leave and the nurse felt supported by her colleagues. Looking back, this was a form of informal power.  Please share example from your own work experience and relate it to the models of theory that we have learned about.
