I have been at my first hospital job for 8 months and it has become apparent that nurses I work with run to the nurse manager "tattling" on eachother (either real or perceived wrong doings) rather than approaching the intended victim. I always was of the mindset, if you have a problem, let me know (obviously if it's endangering a patient, that's different). Nurses copping an attitude if you ask a question, wondering why you let the family wait at the nurses station when you were paged (not even taking into consideration that you may have been stuck in a patients room)..I could go on and on with what I see and hear and expereince first hand...I am so disgusted. Work is stressful enough. And, yes, I know wherever you work, there is going to be someone or something...but it doesn't make it easier.
