Time for another venting morning..lol. I have this co-worker....granted, I love her to death...BUT....she is soooo flippin slow and often annoying. She keeps her patients awake alllllll night doing stupid things that don't need to be done in the middle of the night....like re-arrange furniture in patient rooms , etc. She's always soooo un-organized...she asks me for help with patient turns....and never has all the required items ready or decides that maybe she'll get a quick set of vitals first...meanwhile..I"m standing there , waiting for her...with patients of my own to tend to, etc. Then she's always sooo picky about stuff....one of those super over achievers or something....I mean..she's a good nurse and a great person...but...it just gets old after awhile. And granted ...things should be "by the book" in nursing..but she often takes it to an extreme! Then...she literally is there charting for two hours after the end of her shift because she is dinking around with patients allllll night and doesn't get her charting done. Like this morning....she was working a 7p to 7a...things were pretty under control so she was going to go home early.....well...she finally left at 6:30am....why did she even bother??? Then...she leaves me to pick up all her am meds, finger sticks, and I & O's....it;s like she picked the busiest time of the am to leave. Just errrrrked me all to heck. Anyone work with someone like this? Every facility seems to have one...and she is ours. Ok..enough ranting ...I'm off to bed.
