Re: Giving report-rude nurse
See, this is one of the things that I love about my new job. Taped reports!!!!!
I used to **HATE** giving face to face reports; probably one of my very least favorite parts of my Med/Surge job. I used to have that same problem, but I got it from more than one oncoming nurse.
The best thing to do is 1) don't worry about what the oncoming caregivers/PCA's think of you. You know that you are competent, and that is all that matters. 2) perhaps take that nurse aside and nicely explain to her that all nurses have different ways of doing things sometimes, and one way of doing things may not be the only correct way.
