yes, you can pick apart a poll, but the ???? and the thought it brings out..........

No I wouldn't blindly follow management, but if thisa isa wherea I worka, thena Ia gonna followa mosta of directiona's.......

Should I be different from other team members, or above anybody.....no, and shouldn't be less than anybody........
except for duh!!!!! what different job duties call for.......

Should I publicly point out weaknesses and ?????judgement.........
lets talk about being unprofessional and just downright mean.........

being part of a team, means being part of a team.......
working together for common goal.....like getting through an uneventful shift while giving your patients equal, skilled and compassionate care.............

just micro thoughts....
thx for poll

our unit morale is getting worse. nobody wants to help anyone anymore. asking for help these days is
really putting everyone out...just the question itself provokes nasty responses from nurses and assistants alike...just little things like..can you give me a boost?
when i offer to help my coworkers when im not busy they look at me like i have three heads.

unfortunately sounds familiar!!!!!

I don't like any of the choices offered. Teamwork is pitching in to help each other, and keeping in mind the priorities of the whole unit, not just your assignment. You can't be 'too busy' to run to a code. Of course it's much easier to be a team player when your unit is decently staffed.

gotta agree with that one......

pitching in and helping each other without holding it over anyone's head...............

hey VAC, great cat!!!!!!!!!

I really like RNKitty's reply. It hits the nail on the head.

To Momontoy, take care of your license yes, but also share your pearls of wisdom...teach the new and less experienced nurses. Some really do appreciate it and not all of "them" are in nursing for the wrong reasons.

There is no "I" in Team but there is an "I" in Win!
The questions in the survey sound like characteristics a dictator would use to describe a team player.

The next time all of us go to work...some of us facing insurmountable odds, and have to deal with a person that may believe in the choices presented in this poll, remember, the bottom line isn't what that person may or may not believe or how they practice their profession. When a situation seems hopeless, all we can do is our best. Sometimes we may have to view that one person as just another obstacle to overcome in our quest to accomplish the best we possibly can for the patients whose care we are responsible for during that shift.
Remember also....no matter how horrible a person may be, if you look hard enough you can find something positive in anyone. It isn't easy. Sometimes you get tired in your heart and just want to yell, or throw something, or quit. But all of you have experienced the magic when you see that look on a patient's face after you have taken away their pain....or heard their fears and let them know that you are going to help them shoulder their problem. Or taken the time to explain a procedure for the 500th time so that they are as informed and comfortable as possible. That is why most nurses are nurses. Don't lose faith. There is no "I" in team true, but we can only control our thoughts. Therefore any team involving you....has to start with you. I know it sounds contradictory...but a strong sense of self will help you as much as a healthy dose of humility.
