Does other's people's work ethics bother you. Lately I've found myself getting infuriated at my coworkers. For instance, one nurse called in "tired", "I've been running around all day, I'm going to take a nap and come in about four hours late". The same nurse had her assignment switched from one day to the next with good reason, and decided to leave the unit short staffed and went home because she didn't like her assignment. (It's very very hard to get fired these days, must be counseled and written up a hundred times).
Another nurse has a low priority for antibiodics and meds. She just leave the meds at the bedside uninfused. Plus she lies. I despise lying.
Another CNA saw she was floating. While I was counting narcs she called the staffing office with a sudden onset of illness and went home.
I give 110% and more, and work like a fool getting my job done, while providing leadership and patient care, and only call in sick when sick (which has been over a year ago). These people can't even muster up 10%.
I hope I'm not sounding "holier nurse than thou".
What bothers me, is the guy I'm precepting is choosing loosers for role models and has said things like "well, no one else charts that way, why should I" "when I get off orientation I'm not doing all that work".
I should just live and let live, concentrate on myself and my work and not worry about others. The overwhelming majority of nurses I work with kick butt and work hard. But I'm get so seething angry sometimes at this dead weight.
Thanks for letting me vent.
