Lazy supervisor stories

Make me feel like mine isn't the worst!! Share funny stories!!!

Mine doesn't move all day and barks orders she will walk past a call bell and yell at the closest cna/nurse who is busy with another patient for not responding haha but on a serious note are there more like this out there?

Okay, there are lazy cna's, lazy nurses and lazy supervisors. ...we all get that. But I think the spirit of this thread was a rant and in fun. With that being said, I once worked under a nurse 7p-7a that would pass her meds then go into a resident's room, turn on the resident's tv, and take a 2 hour lunch break that included a nap. She was very hostile and angry if interrupted (if, for instance, a resident fell or was actively dying and needed medication). Now I do think she had some home issues and didn't sleep well, but still...a 90 minute nap? On the clock? Every shift? Not okay at all!

not making sure that nurses are properly oriented before turning them loose then writing them up when they fail to do something according to some quirky company policy. and when the nurse complains about not having the policy or protocol available to them , supervisor replies "you should have asked, any nurse here knows".[/quote']

Yes. This.

You stood there for 45 minutes? There was NOTHING better you could have accomplished than stand there for 45 minutes to prove a point? If you already know the nurses are not answering call lights it seems to me there are more productive things that could have been done in that 45 minutes.[/quote']

Liiiiiike...answer call lights?

Maybe?

Yes. This.

I second that

I agree that the thread was meant to be in fun. As far as that nurse is concerned.....I'm speechless. I have really really bad insomnia, and a pretty difficult living situation, and would never even consider taking even a 10 minute nap at work. I would fire her on the spot.
