I'm a student in Arizona, and I'm curious to know what problems that established nurses have to deal with most often in their daily tasks.
Or in other words, what particular thing would you omit if you had the opportunity?


Thanks for the insight.

If I had the opportunity - I'd omit working altogether. No chance of that yet! On a more serious note, I would omit all of the gossiping and back biting that seems to go on no matter where you work.

I'd omit the "Triple Special" procedures. As in, the family refuses to say goodbye to a loved one, loved one physically can't speak for themselves. So the pt. gets a central line, a trach, a PEG, to prolong life.

I would omit the constant complaining of my peers! Or get selctive hearing!

Aggressive, abusive and violent patients. People who treat you like their personal maid who expect one to one attention even if the person in the next bed is critical or worse. And people who are racist.

One more thing...I hate it when ppl are sweet to your face, and bad mouth you behind your back. We had an experience recently when a relative had gone to another hospital and said some really nasty things. What she didn't know was that the hospital reported back to us! One of our nurses went and gave the number of our complaints officer to the lady, who sat there dumbfounded apparently!

The paperwork! Things would go so smoothly if we didn't have to stop and write it all down!

There was a time when people came to WORK to WORK. I can't stand all of the b**** and moaning about what people don't want to do.

I also wish they would go back to putting a nun and a security guard at the elevator. She would decide who got to go up and visit and who didn't.
