That's a complex thing. Some nurses are competent, some are not. Some nurses will call docs about the smallest things, driving them crazy. Some will never call, and you wish they had. Some docs are assholes and yell at nurses everytime they get called. Nurses know not to call these docs. Some nurses are truly jerks and will call doctors just to make their lives worse. These nurses usually have ironclad job security and know that the doc can't have them fired.
A good nurse is worth his/her weight in gold. Bad nurses are absolute hell for the doctor and the patient.
