  3. Closed Unit cliques ...how do I deal with it ????

    I wouldn't read too much into it really. Do your thing on your off work time. Seems like its a little bit purposeful...as if they are maybe trying to get you to come forward and say hey....I wanna do that too whats up?..... There are cliques everywhe...
  4. I've noticed that this whole area has alot of focus on coworker bullying type issues. So, to lighten the mood a little, what has a coworker done thats been nice towards you? What about the meanest thing that someone's done to you at work? My story: ...
  5. Mean and Ruthless Nurses who are receiving your report

    You did your part. Now, the one you reported to is on her own. I have the same problem at work with 3 different nurses. nurse A-always late, walks away from me during report, puts on makeup, eats brkfst, starts conversations or goes off with the cna...
  6. How in the freaking world are you a nurse???

    I dont think I'd want to work the same shift with her for sure! I work with a few sort of like her, but not to the degree that she is. We have a really old nurse who's always had others to basically do her work for her....so she's clueless and gives ...
  7. Is it good to totally flip out on another nurse?

    I feel ya! There are 2 nurses I HATE coming in behind because its ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a mess. Half the time they are MIA on smoke breaks and that puts me half an hr behind...mind you I have double the load than they do. They give awful reports-proba...
  8. Bullying

    While the bullying may seem less on the nurse A because they are focusing on you, DON'T let this continue or you're working days will become miserable. Bullying is so common now. I've dealt with it to an extent myself by one particular nurse coworke...
  9. Night Shift vs. Day Shift Names

    This is a cool topic and right up my alley:) Where I work we, the night shift, tend to call ourselves night owls and we call the day shift daywalkers or....of course....like someone said earlier...."female dogs"...ya know....the B word...aka....the ...
  10. Last week I discovered that a spouse of one of my patients has a tape recorder in the room & has been recording staff when they come in the room. The spouse also writes down every single thing we do in the room & has been very accusatory, for...

  13. Have you ever worked as a state surveyor?

    I reposted my question when I thought I'd lost it originally. Sorry bout that. And as for the holes on mars, I was always taught if u don't chart it u didn't do it so if u don't sign for a med you didn't give it. Thus, there should be documentation s...
  14. Any tips you can give me for managing time?

    Hmm I have 36 patients on my shift. I used to have 40 but I complained til I got 4 taken off my load. I have a heavy hs pass and I usually have at least 16 charts to chart on. I do skin audits and txs too plus chart checks. When I worked on 8 hr shif...
  15. How do I handle a patronizing coworker?

    I think you should continue to ignore her. If you were more established at this place a confrontation may be suitable only if necessary. She may be testing the waters with you but maintain only as much contact as absolutely necessary with her. Where ...
