How to end this in 3 easy steps: 1. Just say in front of the patient everything you'd normally say in report. 2. Watch complaints skyrocket and patient satisfaction scores plumet. 3. LOL in break room. Optional step 4: Have another job lined up.
*Facepalm* She's bemoaning the edging out of experienced nurses by employers eager to hire newer nurses who are more desperate for work and willing to work for less, thus driving down wages and driving out older nurses. It wasn't a commentary on you...
Thanks! Waaaaay back in the days of dial-up I went by a handle of Fribbles. For some reason I couldn't use that when I signed up for this site, so I went with Fribblet. Apparently, it's also used as an alternative term for Dingleberry as another pos...
